I recently purchased a brand new video, a 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6200 -- definitely not top of the line but a very good quality card. After installing the card properly (removing old drivers, installing the new ones, etc.), it appeared to be working correctly. However, when I started up a PC game (World of Warcraft), many graphical glitches made themselves known.
These glitches included lines/shapes of various colors blinking around the screen, literally less than a second each, but continuously nonetheless. It happens more often when there is more rendering going on the screen so I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
I've went through the card configuration multiple times, the in-game video settings, updating the video driver, updating my chipset and even testing it in other PC's (it works fine in two others without problems), but I cannot get it working on mine. Anybody have any suggestions?
I have a 2ghz P4 processor and 1.5GB RAM with Windows XP. I'd appreciate any help.

I did update DirectX but I didn't see any kind of clock speed settings around. However, I'm not quite sure that could be the problem, since the DirectX testing tool that does some 3D rendering didn't cause the same problems. I'm not sure if that narrows down what the source of the problem is, but the game works fine on my much older card (another NVIDIA, 64 MB though).
My new card is currently not installed, so I'm going to wait for more suggestions before trying anything (so I could do more at once and not have to keep switching) Thanks for the input so far, keep them coming! :)

I've also physically checked the card in that manner, since I've reinstalled it from scratch multiple times. No avail with that. =/

There's misreading questions and there's also not reading them at all. Thanks for the information, hengche h. I think I've been playing long enough to figure that one out though. =P

Did you also update DirectX? It is neccessary to do this when you change cards in order to properly register the card's abilities.
If that's not the problem, and there is a clock setting on the card, reduce the speed and see if that helps.

First, check the directX version as suggested by another post, but I had a similar issue... I uninstalled the drivers and physically removed the card to check the connection. I found a small peice of plastic from the bubble rap it came in stuffed into the PCI bus. It was preventing contact with one or two of the pins. Once I made sure the bus and the card pins were clean, I reinstalled the card, reinstalled the drivers from the CD and I was working great. My suggestion would be to remove the card, blow out the bus and reinstall.

All GeForce 6200 cards have problems, I always tell people not to get them. They are very cheap cards, but they are not very good. I suggest sending it back and getting a different model.
