and now when i put my ti4600 128mb video card into the agp slot im getting white lines and coloured squares as i boot up..i installed a few different nvidia drivers thinking this might solve it but all that happend was i got a black screen after the windows lgo load up screen…apart from this everything seems fine.im wondering if theres some bios setting im not changing that would cause this problem
i did feel the vid card and it seemed very hot
oh yea it was fine in my last system
can anyone help or is my vid card fried?
thanx guys!!

i know of tigerdirect in america…i’d much rather use newegg or zipzoomfly. much more reliable.

try putting the card into a another computer. quite possibly, when switching it out of your old one to the new one, you didn’t ground youself to get rid of any static you might of had lingering around.  that might of been enough to fry something on the video card.

The squares dont have anything to do with the drivers if it happens before windows. Hardware problem.
