2D Graphics failure 1

[mtboulder]

Thanks for looking at this post. I've been working on a random freeze issue for a few weeks. I finally downloaded "BurnInTest" from Passmark software. I am getting a corrupt memory error on the 2D graphics test. 3D passes fine as do all other tests. My guess is that I need a new graphics card. I have a MSI nVidia MX440-T8X.

The MB is a ECS L4S8A2 and does not seem to have any onboard graphics memory.

Any opinions on this? Thanks.

I read a bit on your board here:

and from what I can see, you have 8x AGP support so any board you want is good. Go for the best and have fun. Personally I like ATI but you'll have a bunch of Nvidia people saying that's better so... lol

I ahve a 9500Pro 128Mb that plays everything perfectly. If your into the gaming end of things, you might shop for a Direct X 9 compatable boaurd like the newer ATI boards so you get great graphics for new releases like Half Life 2.
