Strobe Light

[Lenman619]

I have a dell 8250 PC, operating on Windows XP with 40GB HD, 128K RDRAM with a 64MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce MX420 w/TV out. Whenever I play games suc as Medal of Honor or Ghost Recon, my monitor freezes up as if i'm playing under a strobe light. Is my problem due to inadequate RAM or am I able to do something with/about my computer or video card to rectify this problem?

Welcome to The PCGUIDE forums

Your pc seems to satisfy the minimum hardware requirements, so RAM, video card aint the problem.

A few questions first, do you have the latest directX drivers (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/drx90.asp) installed ? (directX 9)

To check wat version of directX is installed, goto start > Run ...type dxdiag. Chk out the various tabs, run the different tests, enable if anything is disabled in the DISPLAY tab.

Do other games run fine your pc ?

Also what version of your video card drivers?

Are you using the manufacturer supplied one or the Detonator series from nVidia?
