    I've been having problem with my 8600m gs video card..
    it often has these lines going across the screen.. yellow blue green ish colours.
    it frustrates me cuz after playing games, it usually happens and i have to force restart my computer...

    Question:

    1) I've got message that my video card needs more power supply, how can i resolve this? problem?

    2) I would like to upgrade or replace current RAM... it is made my hyundai.. a car company.. :[ im thinking maybe to samsung or kingston just to be safe.
