I have a strange problem quitting some games(not all). On exiting some games the game hangs & the screen goes glitchy with the graphics appearing zig zagged looking like a series of small squares all over the screen resulting in having to press reset to quit.The games play ok but it's on quitting the problem occurs. I have a GeForce 7300 GS version 6.14 graphics card & an AMD ATHLON 64 processor 3500 + 2.2ghz and 1gig memory.Any ideas as it's annoying having to reset to quit.:confused:

Sounds like 1 of two things.

1. RAM problem, its not flushing the ram

2. HD problem, the swap file used by windows may be on a few bad sectors of the HD thusly causing a problem when shutting down.

3. Overheating problem (common these hot days!); check with a hardware diagnostic software, CPU, GPU, GPU RAM shouldn't be above 60 Celsius.

4. Buggy video card driver; update to to the latest one.

The quitting/graphics problem was caused thru me updating my graphics driver & getting one "not digitally signed".Cured the problem by rolling back to original drivers.:p
