    Hi All

    I've just upgraded my system , Dell studio 8100 windows 7, i7cpu 870@2.93ghz, 6gb, 64 bit,
    nvidia gts 250 1g, 2 samsung 27" HDTV's,
    Everything seemed ok until I started on larger drawings, when I would get bugsplats, freeze up,SU not responding, and even doing simple things like drawing a line would take a few seconds
    My old system never had these problems and so are a bit confused why the new one has
    What do you think ? The video card maybe, I'm running both screens off the one card
    Please let me know your thoughts

    Cheers Dean

      sounds like a script is in wrong to me... are you seeing any video errors? like visual or error codes?

      I was up till recently using 1 GTS 250 1 Gig card to run 3 19" monitors and a 42" HDTV no issues at all... but now I'm running two GTS 250 1 Gig cards.

      I would suggest installing a base blank google install and checking it.

          A couple of suggestions

          • upgrade your graphics card driver, if you have not already done so
          • do not use any other system (such as the Nvidia NView) than the basic Windows one to manage your screens and desktop.

            what I mean is do a fresh install of SketchUp... and like Anssi said a up to date driver is paramount.

                Well i did both things and it still happens

                I moved a simple shape and splat, and then when on the web some pictures were flickering
                When in SU guide lines appear in infinity making it appear a shape is not filled in, and when you zoom into a guide line to pick the end it dissappears, very odd

                One correction the card is a GTS 240 1gb

                  are you having any issues with any other 3D intensive program?

                    I've just downloaded podium 'I know not 3d' and so far all ok
                    Today I had no splats , but was only using small files
                    I'll keep you posted

                      I'd try to start eliminating what causes the errors.

                      Turn off 'hardware acceleration' and see if that fixes it -- if it does it's likely the video card to blame.
                      If not try disconnecting the second monitor (hardware acc. can be back on if the first test founf the gpu to not be the problem).
                      After that ?

                      Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.

                        I turned the accelerater off and still the same
                        Would running each monitor on its own card help?
                        I think another GTS 240 is about $100, or go for another card?
                        Cheers

                          Now I do a test after I add any new ruby to see if my (or new) gremlins come back.
