The card is seated correctly. I've taken it out and put it back in 2 times now and the problem goes away for about 2 minutes then quickly comes back. I've had the card for about 4 years now, so it probaly is the card. It has NEVER done this before, it just started this up on friday in the middle...

After about 5 minutes the lines came back, wiggled it again the lines are gone, will probaly be back soon. Still no clue on what's causing this.

I just took it out and let it cool off a little bit, it was a little hot. I put it back in, now the lines are gone but i'm still getting artifacts in 3D applications.

Ok. I was playing Oblivion today, and all of a sudden these lines started appearing across my screen. Once this happened, I immediately exited out of the game. The lines were on my Windows desktop too. So I restarted, and they were still there(even while booting up). Now, the first thing that...

This is a new hard drive. It's never had Windows on it. I can't get Windows to install, that's the problem. I can't really unplug my CD-Rom, because then I wouldn't be able to run my Windows CD. I've also tried swapping out my CD-Rom with another one, and it still gets stuck on the same spot...

Hehe ok, i'll go ahead and order a new IDE cable for my hard drive. I could use a new one anyway to take advantage of U-ATA hard drive. I'll report back if it doesn't work.

I just got a new hard drive :< The OLD hard drive has bad sectors, there's nothing wrong with the new one.

No errors on MEMTEST. I just tried switching the IDE channels, didnt work. The only swapping of IDE cables i've done with swapping the CDRom IDE cable with the HD IDE Cable, which didn't work either. I checked what mode my channels are in. Under the primary IDE channel, it says the current...

No scratches on the CD, not even a smudge. CD is brand new. I tried installing Windows before I put the drivers on the hard drive, didn't work.The drivers i'm talking about are from their utility. It gave me an option "would I like to set up this hard drive to use with windows" and I picked...

Hello, I'm having a big problem setting up Windows XP Pro SP2 on my new hard drive. What the set up is doing is going past the "setup is loading(random driver) then hanging up on "Setup is launching Windows". It hangs in the same place every time. My old hard drive crashed. I had to reformat...
