Guess it's time for me to dig into Dragons Dogma...

Here's a question. I haven't played Day Z in any form and I only watched the old quick look. Is this game approachable from the outset or do I need to spend some time watching how to's and surfing wikis before I can understand the mechanics?

@tycobb: @noizy: thanks for the help. will try your suggestions out. yeah I plan on buying an nvidia card when I build a new rig in a year or so.

@mint_kjell_olav: It's never been overclocked, I try not to mess with that. I'll try reseating it.

@vdortizo: I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

I thought it might be overheating since when I do a restart it fixes it up for an unknown amount of time, but all my temps seem fine. I switched hdmi cables which didn't do anything and for what it's worth the monitor (which is a fairly new Insignia flat screen tv) seems to be fine as far as I can tell. The video card is a possibility, it's about a year old as I got it around christmas last year and is the newest thing in the computer. However I'm not sure how to test it to see if it's the issue.

temps usually run around here. figured it might be worth mentioning.

Basic Specs:

Display- AMD Radeon HD 7850 2gb ddr5

Processor- Intel Core i5

Power- 525w

RAM- 6gb DDR3

Sound- AMD High Def Audio Device

I recently posted a topic asking for help with what I had described as a sort of screen tearing. Since then I had updated all drivers and checked and cleaned all parts in the PC and seemed to be having no issues until today when I was finally able to capture just what I was seeing. So maybe with a screen grab someone can tell me what I've got going on and maybe point me in the direction of where to begin repairing it.

Here is the pic:

After a restart everything returns to normal and it's hard to say when or if it will happen again. I'm more concerned that whatever is causing this is damaging something in the computer and it makes me nervous to run it. Any help is appreciated, I'm not a computer expert and could use any help I can get.

Sim City was a huge disappointment, but wow was ride to hell terrible. The only value that game had was making a great Game Informer play through.

@csl316: @metalbaofu: thx will give em a look
