AMD ATHLON 2800 XP PROCESSOR, (using XP Pro, Svc Pk 3). NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX graphics w/64 MB DDR. Red no longer shows. Checked monitor so that is not the problem. I assume it has something to do with the graphics card integrated into the motherboard. Have all the latest drivers for NVIDIA and monitor. Are there updated drivers for the motherboard? Will that fix the problem?

The integrated graphics may have bit the dust.. but I'd suspect a poor connection at the jack first. Try disconnecting the cable from the PC (and the monitor if not molded in) and reseat the plug(s) into the jack(s). Give it a wiggle and see if you can detect the red channel coming on. Check the VGA cable for signs of damage. If unable to get the red, you'll need to isolate the trouble to either a faulty graphics port or monitor. You can do that by swapping the monitor with a known good one OR installing a VGA card in an open slot of the MB. A third possible swap would be for the VGA cable if it can be separated from the monitor.

You may have to change a setting in the BIOS to tell the computer to use the PCI or AGP video if you go the expansion card route tho. Swapping the monitor shouldn't be a problem if you change the resolution in the OS to match the new monitor (or simply set to VGA) so that you don't over drive the replacement monitor.

Either of these two methods will provide you with a definitive answer as to the health of the monitor or graphics adapter. Just remember to change ONE thing at a time - don't make two changes at the same time as you won't know which is the faulty component.

I hope this helps!

You did not list the card specs (AMD/Nvidia model) for reference. If you don't have a card currently get the best AGP 8x card you can find. Keep in mind that that with that CPU a higher end card will probably bottleneck so don't go crazy. Some web consensus is a geforce 5500. Possibly a Radeon 7000 series for higher frames.

Still lagging in WoW!

Answered originally by TimIsHectic:

Assuming you mean a bad framerate and not actual 'lag', the problem would appear to exist in your processor, as it is old and outdated. and only just fits the minimum requirements to RUN THE GAME, not run the game well.

Answer: You should upgrade your CPU to a Pentium Dual-core at least.

Recommended: Dual-core processor, such as the Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2

Recommended: 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users) Video: Minimum: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM Such as an ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better
