Noob - first time poster - I just picked up a used ibm server with an E6700 core 2 duo and nvidia quadro FX 3500 video card for use as a HTPC - I am running a dual link DVI cable to my Mitsubishi 57" DLP tv. Resolution is set at 1920x1080 and I am seeing red artifacts/wavy lines when watching shows streamed either directly from broadcast websites or through hulu, etc. Computer is hardwired ethernet to Comcast cable modem. Any body have possible solution? Do I need to get a different viseo card? Thanks for any input!
 
Sounds like your video card is toast. Can you try a different one?

Yea visual artifacts such as wavy lines and weird boxing effects of pixels in bright colors are normally fail signs for the GPU. Just grab a cheap card to replace it since you're only needing it for HTPC usage.
 
Thanks for the responses I only get the wavy lines during video playback, regular windows and browser windows look fine. It is like they are occurring around edges of light and dark borders in various scenes but are not there all of the time a video is streaming. My download speeds are fairly consistent in the 10meg range
 
interlacing/deinterlacing problem perhaps? Try updating video drivers

Are you outputting 1080i ?
 
I am outputting 1080p - tried a dvd to make sure it wasn't a streaming problem adn get the same result. Static screens and images are fine - going to run gpu-z test tonite to see what it shows when the gpu is stressed fully

Also - all drivers and programs are up to date.
