Reinstall your drivers. Run DriverCleaner after uninstalling the drivers. Then install a fresh new one.

reinstalled the drivers, heck reformatted the computer, yet the same problems arose.

opened up case today to 'clean' the card; still no change. Definitely looks like a hardware problem but dont know if it can be fixed. :(

there are yellow cubes sitting on top of some of the components and appear to be partially blackened. Is this an indication of a burnt out card? :cry:

lol, ATi has some good cards on the market at the moment, and the X1950pro is headed to AGP soon by the way.

You'll be waiting for a while on DX10 cards from Nvidia and ATi unless you want a enthusiast class video card.
