So long story short, several years of gaming put stress on the card, and it's finally toast. Renegade X wasn't even the straw that broke the overworked camels back, that was the overnight(unattended?) bitcoin mining from the sounds of things. Ren-X just happened to be released/installed at the wrong time. Definately good news.

Yeah OP's machine is kinda... uhh... old. But i've also found that the game performs much worse than the minimum/recc specs imply. You guys should consider bumping them up a little. I personally think minimum reqz mean, Native resolution, 30fps+ all times, all other settings to minimum supported by in game video controls. I'd have been really dissapointed if i met minimum reqz and couldn't manage solid 30 fps, way more than if i'd gone into it knowing "I'm below minimum specs"

Alright so i've only been playing pc games/building my own rigs for like 9 years, but my opinion is that your GPU is toast. Maybe a fan went out, bad OC, bad luck, wear and tear. Who knows. But the screenshot you posted combined with your other symptoms (Blurry post) makes it sound like that's the issue. Try pulling the GPU and rebooting, if everything is peachy, it's because the offending piece of hardware is gone, and the system is defaulting to onboard graphics. Also, your know your meme link is relevant to what? LOL DELETE SYSTEM32! Is an absurdly old piece of bad advice, it's not evidence of *poorly* coded software just deleting system files.I'm sure it's happened, but it's likely not the case here. *Malicious* software could delete windows system files, but i find it hard to believe that renegadex is designed to hurt you or your computer. Beyond pulling your GPU, memtest IS a good suggustion. I'ma go ahead and endorse Legitsu's suggestion there. But really, i'd almost be willing to bet its your GPU itself.
