Looking for guidance or words of wisdom to help you along your journey to fixing your problems (such as graphics) on these forums is a foolish mistake as some proclaim, whereas the maturity level is the same as my shoe size.

Big socks = ?

In other words, a different site could be beneficial for you in the long run. Mainly containing knowledge with such technological achievements in the past years.

Referring to gamers who have spent several years around PC's(in my case more than half my life) and have dealt with a number of computer issues especially as a whole community. Even though I'd like to, but I wouldn't discredit the advise from these gamers. Whatever you do, never seek companies like GeekSquad to fix your computer, unless you want your wallet to go on a thinning diet for work that a preteen can solve. I personally ran into a similar problem and at first thought it was my vcard, but it turned out to be my monitor(its more likely that its a vcard issue). The number of colors is limited in safe-mode so I'm still inconclusive on what to do, maybe try switching your color bit display and note the changes. I don't know if you can change your personalization of appearance in safe-mode, but change the color-bit and see if you can view things better in normal boot

Personally, when I ran into this issue, my card was overclocked too much. I suggest using system restore and go back a few days, maybe even a week. Should fix your issue.

YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ACNE UNTIL YOU READ THIS

Proactive was proven ineffective due to the skin irritations from the two chemicals which are contained in, Benzoyl Peroxide and SA. Although they are used beneficial seperate it will lead to skin cancer down the road.

Keep in mind:
P.A Acne(caused by bacteria)
Hormonal Acne(located around jaw area)
Back, Chest, and Arms are also a potential place where it can appear
^also known as "BACNE"

More info on Acne, Zits, Pimples refer here: http://acne.org

Hormonal:

There are several times in our lives when our hormones can become unbalanced and wreak havoc, including puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and, well, any other time they feel like it. More specifically, acne may be precipitated by androgens, male hormones present in both men and women. The oil surplus created by these hormones may be instrumental in clogging hair follicles where bacteria grows and causes acne pimples and blemishes.


Hormonal acne is seen mostly in women due to the natural cycles a woman goes through, such as menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Because of this, doctors sometimes prescribe low-dose birth control pills and/or androgen receptor blockers to reduce blemishes by keeping androgens steady.

I have received many e-mails from women in their late 20s and older who are experiencing an acne flare-up or even acne for the first time in their lives. These women have also reported that the Regimen helps clear up their adult onset hormone induced acne

Body Acne:

Body acne, just like facial acne, is a genetic disease. If your mother or father had body acne, chances are you're likely to struggle with it yourself. Studies show us that most people with facial acne have some amount of body acne as well. Body acne develops in a similar way to facial acne. However, the skin on the body can be thicker than that on the face and often has larger pores, making for more severe acne lesions at times.

Acne can develop anywhere on the body except for the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. That is because these are the only two areas which do not have sebaceous follicles where acne is formed. So, if you're wondering if the pus filled red marks on your arms, legs, buttocks, or elsewhere are acne, chances are they just might be. If you are unsure, see a dermatologist for a diagnosis.

For old ass halo players, I present to you, Adult Acne:

Adult acne affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of adult women at some time in their adult lives. One third of adults affected with facial acne also have acne on their body. These are the official statistics, but I personally don't know many adults who have not had a zit or two in their adult lives. People can develop unpleasant acne or have an acne recurrence in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. Dermatologists find themselves seeing more adult acne patients than in previous decades. An article in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science in 2004 stated, "Recent epidemiological studies show that there appears to be an increase in post-adolescent acne, and that the disease is lasting longer and is requiring treatment well into the mid forties." Regardless of when someone struggles with acne, it can be difficult to cope, and can cause depression and social anxiety in an adult the same way it can in a teen.

Stress:

The average acne sufferer's skin contains clogged pores that they can't even see. Stress causes an inflammatory response in the body and can cause the walls of these pores to break. When this happens, the body responds with redness around the broken pore, and an influx of pus (a zit).

Also, when we experience stress, our adrenal gland goes into overdrive. Androgens (male hormones), which this gland produces, increase. Higher androgen levels can lead to more acne. This is especially true in women, who produce a much larger percentage of their androgens in the adrenal gland than men. This may explain why stress seems to affect women more than men when it comes to acne.

Diet:

Diet has a direct effect on our body's insulin levels. Insulin is our master hormone and affects all of our other hormones, including our androgens (male hormones). Scientists heavily suspect that hormonal fluctuations, particularly in our androgen levels, can result in acne flare ups. Insulin also affects growth hormone and a host of other hormones which may be related to acne formation on a cellular level. It is hypothesized, yet unproven, that a diet which causes insulin spikes may affect the pathogenesis (development) of acne.

The right diet may also be related to acne in positive ways. Eating a low glycemic diet rich in veggies, fruit, seafood, and grass-fed meat can help stabilize insulin levels, which theoretically may have an impact. Also, ingesting Omega-3 fats, such as fish oil, for instance, has been shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent in our body. Since a big part of acne is inflammation, it makes theoretical sense that eating an anti-inflammatory diet would help.

The simple Regimen such as on the site of acne.org is in these 3-4 Easy Steps:
-Wash with Gentle Cleanser
-Shave(If you are a guy)
-Apply BP(Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%)
-Wait 10 - 15 minutes and apply moisturizer
-Every other day or 3 days apply AHA+ 10% Cream for Red Marks

FOR ARE YOU NERDS INFRONT OF A COMPUTER THIS IS MY WAY OF GIVING YOU SOME SELF CONFIDENCE FOR YOUR LIFE

EDIT: Drugs, Alcohol, and Smoking will not affect the appearance of your skin, trust me I know from my own experience.

alright ban this rhino kid.



Looks like a graphics card issue. Do you have multiple cards or just one? To be honest this could be a bunch of different problems but I'd check to make sure your slot wasn't bad in your mobo as well. Try each card by themselves in different slots to be absolutely certain.

Lol no big deal really, vodka said proactive, so I went proactive to say proactive isn't really proactive, then a whole bunch of other topics related to it came to mind so I posted that aswell.

Beany is in Germany, probably getting anal raped in a hostel.
