When I started my computer today oh what a surprise a busted display card, the screenshot shows how messed up it looks:

Looks like I'll be having to use my Dell extended warranty.

Was it a driver, super hero?
If it isn't broke, tweak it.

I knew someone would eventually ask if it was driver related. :P
No it wasn't the drivers albeit I'm not fond of ATI's drivers, it was instead the fan on the display card that went kaput which is what eventually fried it.

That Super Hero thing under my user name is added by the forums automatically after so many posts are made.

Me make fun of you, nah, never. :P
If I'm remembering correctly it showed up after two thousand posts. Perhaps for frequent posters like us perhaps it should say "they must live here."
