Do you have any driver plugins or anything running on your computer? uninstall EVERYTHING that has anything to do with your video card.

yea i was thinking the same thing...

maybe ur mobo is giving out too much voltage to the video card and then u start seeing artifacts...

@Storm yea its his video card (9600)

im so glad i dont play games on my comp.......... saves me a whole lotta bullshit

and money, my video card only cost 56 euro, works great, doesnt even have a fan......... i love my 9200

[abu_has_the_power]

well, as i've made clear by now, i still have my 9600. after this new 9800 screws up, i put in the 9600. once again, no probs wat so ever. logically, it can't be a prob with the agp, nor with the monitor itself. could it be my old guess with the inadequate power supply to the card? how can i fix that without having to buy a new psu?
