    ok i am running an Asus laptop that uses an ATI mobility 9700. here is my issue:
    movies play fine videos run great. no glitchs dureing any other programs but when i run video games i get lines and boxs and all kinds of glitchs. is this a direct draw problem or maybe my card has been fried due to overheating. i did have many problems with this before. however if the card was fried wouldnt effect everything and not just games? if there is any thing i can try please toss me a step by step i am somewhat stupid. :D
