Hi! My first post on Alla, wished it was under more pleasent circumstances.
It was running games fine, then after installing UnrealTournament2004 the game graphics started to turn red.
Because I hadn't played games for so long I have no idea if this happened before or as a result of installing UT2004. I have tried numerous things, including newest drivers, drivers I once used I knew worked, swapping my ram slots and sticks and recently re-installed windows as well. I also fiddled with Windows Torubleshoot ideas, and the hardware accelerator, again didn't work.
I tried running the FFXI benchmark as a quick test to see if the graphics worked but to no avail. The screen turns red most of the time, however, infrequently it does display SOME normal graphics. Also, sometimes the textures on some objects go very... weird.
PC running Windows XP Pro, 800Mhz Duron, GeForceFX 5x00 128MB (i fink its a 5100, 5200 or 5300.. Can't remember, but I got it about a year ago). 256+128MB Ram but lat the moment its just got one stick in because I was trying different combinations.
I am really stuck for ideas, any help will be muchly appreciated!!

Probably more localised to your graphics card i'd say, have you got another one that you can try? If not you'll want to be getting a replacement i'd say.
Corrupted textures are a pretty good sign that your card has gone south for the winter.
