Video Card - Display Problem

[Freqs]

Hello, my video card is recently experiencing an issue in which the screen starts to blur and many blocks and colored lines occur. This even occur during the startup screen. It seems like a corrupt video card problem, but I have experienced this problem 3 times already. I'm sure it is not a monitor problem, because I am now using the integrated graphic card and it works fine. A while ago, this happened, and it got fixed by itself within a few days. Now it seems like it will not go away.

I am using Radeon 9250 PCI 256mb
OS: XP S3

Here is a picture of the screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Try switching PCI slots it could be the problem. After you've switched update to the latest drivers: Catalyst™ 6.11 Display Driver for Windows XP Professional/Home Edition

That sounds like either wrong video drivers OR video card is going out...

It isn't likely with a 9250 that you have overheating problems but it's always a possibility.

Could also be conflicting drivers. Always un-install old drivers and reboot before installing new ones. No matter what the manufacturers do to prevent conflicting drivers it's always a good thing to do, just to be safe.
Good Luck!
