Cody, now don't you think that if you wouldn't beat the sh1t out of the parts that you think don't work but they really do and repeatedly switch cases, hardware, operating systems, the computer....then you're computer might run smooth and efficiently, my advice is to sell your computer and buy another one in 2 years when you grow out of the "beat the sh1t out of the helpless computer" phase. Not trying to be mean, but 90% of other people don't have all of the problems that you have, it's not bad luck with computers, but just an immature temper and ignorance. Sorry if i offended you, but its the truth.

1 long 2 short means agp card not in properly, or problem with the agp card. Just check its in right.
