    Ok every time I load up my PC my graphics on the screen go weird, like a blob showed up, its when ever I restart my PC, almost like the GPU isn't warmed up I do a stess test and it doesn't do anything. Its the gateway fx 7805. Any information?

    Ok I did a restart and it seems to only do this WHEN IT IS COLD, or maby doesnt get enough power?

    A gfx not working when it is cold? That is interesting.. usually you want it to be colder. You should run a monitor and post your temps at idle/max etc. My only thought is that it is a bad card.
