GF4 ti 4200 help

[jesot]

Lately when I've been unable to play games on my PC because the graphics are all distorted (even the text on the main screens - which makes it impossible to even start most of the time). I've tried the latest drivers and two different older ones and I get the same results no matter what drivers I use. I have DirectX 9.0c. I've had the card for over 2 years, and I'm thinking the problem is overheating (I'll try a house fan blowing into the case), but I'll try anything before I have to go out and buy a new card. I don't have any problems with normal applications or realplayer, mediaplayer, etc.

First, try cleaning all of the dust out of the case and fans.

Be sure to place a straw or pen or something in between the fan blades so they don't spin around while you're blowing them out, for it could damage them.
