    Anyone else having a problem with Dells installed screensavers? Was using aurora than stated noticing solid patches developing so I changed it to Bubbles. Seemed to be OK at first but than started racing as if it was at Datona :D Called Dell yesterday and after hours tey had me uninstall everything and reinstall OS :eek:, Said they never heard of this problem before :rolleyes: After the fresh install It's still happening and everything else is running at a crawl

    Anyone out there know what is causing this?

    Sounds like an overheating graphics card perhaps. Want to tell us a bit about your system?
