Is it a Video Card problem?

[tgc]

Hello,

I'm using an old 9800XT Pro, I'm just using this slower computer till i get a new one but anyways, it use to be able to play WMV type files no problem. Ever since a reformat, it has had problems playing wmv files, the video is all blue and greenish.

And now, i use to be able to play WoW, no problem, until recently, pixel blocks are everywhere, and it only seems to be getting worse and worse.

I switched to an older video card i had in stock, a radeon 9600, and still same problem.

After this, the desktop has been fine and all, but recently, even outside windows will have like pixel lines showing up here and there, and then disappearing.

Just wondering if this is a video card problem, or could there be a problem somewhere else i may not know about.

Thanks in advance.

Did you download the drivers for the card? If not download them and I am sure your problems will go away.

Sounds like a driver problem.. but the "pixel lines" you mention sound a bit more like artifacts... and that could be a sign of a card problem.

Can you post a screenshot of what the pixel lines look like.. that would help.

Those lines are from right clicking and the menu pops up and then i click it away...i did it multiple times, which explains why there's more than one line.
