After a lot of "FUCK!, DAMN IT! and WHAT THE FUCK!"s being thrown around, it now doesnt load past the "Starting Windows" screen. I googled all the symptoms and it came down to a Videocard problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good PCI-Express videocard that can play the most recent games. I'm only looking to spend up to $150, but the cheaper the better. My old card was a GeForce 8800 GT. Thanks! Awards

See Belted's email to you. Canada Computers has one on sale for $124, marked down from $144. I bumped up to one of these from an 8800GT and it was well worth it. Awards
