Display problems = little lines, and freezes

[Sku11]

Wassup Everyone,

My current system stats are P4 1.5 ghz
Win Xp Pro
256 RDRAM 800Mhz
Asus P4T Mboard
Asus V8200 Geforce 3 Ti 500
and thats basically it

Well anyways every time i format , and run windows little lines appear all over my screen whether im in games or desktop. My computer also freezes up and then seizes to freeze for a couple of seconds, then goes back to hell again,Ive changed about oh say 20 drivers around, when i disable my video card driver though and runof standard it works like i am currently doing.

Plz any help will be great thanks a heap.

2 things.

New Video Card, sounds like that one is shot.

And get more RAM.

What does getting more RAM have to do with that problem?

Nothing but witn XP, nothing below 512MB is good

K thanks for the help , but im not going to get a new vid card just like that. Does any1 else think its my vid card, to be honest I also think my video card is shot but I want a few more opinions

Is there anyway you can try a different video card? All you need is another AGP card to try in it. I personally say its probably the video card, since you get lines and such, its probably toast. But you probably ought to try another card in your system before buying a new one. No need to throw away money.
