Defect Display while playing Game

[MarcBaeten]

While Playing the game "Age of Empires" my display got destroyed. This happened twice at the same place in the game with 2 different displays.
How can this happen?
The graphics card is still working but, how can I check if there are some parts malfunctioning?
Configuration:
Asus A7V266-E with AmD Athlon XP1700+
NVidia GForce MX400

Umm.. are you saying your display or monitor was ruined and won't function anymore? Or was it graphical corruption on the screen while playing? (and monitor still good)
