lots of the pics i download look like that.

MSI nvidia nforce 4 chipset latest drivers
ati radeon xl800 latest drivers
1 gb corsair value ram 2*512mb (passes memtest no errors after 5+ hrs of running)

i dont think its a video issue since i right clicked + saved that image, its not a screen shot, but i'm not sure its a problem with my nic since i use that computer as a router for my laptop and all images download fine to the laptop. it also runs fine in knoppix, and when i run apache on my laptop all images download fine from it
 
these are just still pictures? maybe it is how the pic was taken, have you tried other pics, or is it all downloaded pics, could be a networking issue

no its not how the pics were taken because they dont like that on my other computer...like i said, i use the computer as a router as well and none of the pics look like that on my laptop
 
are you using the same proggy to open up those images? ..if so , try a different program ..are the images zipped up when you get them? ..try a diff unzipping/raring utility maybe ..firewall or antivirus running when you download the image? ..

reminds me of how sometimes PowerDVD will play a movie and it will look like that , yet the same movie plays fine in Windows Media Player ...

dunno , just throwen' stuff at yuh.never seen just straight pics do that.

I had my old gf 4 mx440 do that after i flashed it to 5900U by accident. (right before it fried lol) maybe a temp issue?

but why if its a video card issue would it cause the image to be downloaded like that? this is not a screen shot, the image was saved that way.

the image was from genmay.net
 
yea sorry re-read it after i posted. If you think its a download problem try bypassing the net completely? also if you dl it to that comp but email to another do they still look like that?

ok the computer that does this is being used as a router, i can download all i want from my laptop through it and nothing is wrong on the laptop end :confused:

also it looks fine in knoppix
 
Run CHKDSK to verify that your hard disk isn't having any problems. That looks like corrupted data to me, your HD is probably on its way out. :(

argh these drives are brand new

and i have no other problems that would suggest a bad hard drive, i can download from another computer on the network running apache all day long and have no problems; and the other computer on my network uses this computer as a gateway and has no problems at all downloading
