I have a AGP 6600gt
When I play a game it plays for 5mins and then the screen goes all funny coloured and the PC freezes.
So now when I restart the PC then the are white doted line going from top to bottom in goups of 4 on the screen during the memory scan. And then when it gets to the black windows bootup screen with a running bar at the bottom the line change to blue. After that the LCD monitor says no signal.
So I went to safe mode and tried system restore same story, but then I uninstalled the nvidia drivers via control panel the lines did not go away but it detected a new device, I then installed the nvidia drives again it installed but, when it got to the part were the screen swithes off and switches on the screen just went off for ever.
Help Thank you in advance.

The video card is bad. Switch it out for known good card. Also switch the monitor to a different machine to make sure it isn't the monitor but I'm pretty sure this is the card. Maybe it is still under warranty. Good luck!

First, attach the monitor to another computer and see if the behaviour is the same.
Try attaching another monitor to your computer and see if the lines are there.
You will get a clear cut answer.
You might have an issue with the drivers, but apparently the card is not doing its job and you might need a new graphics card.

Better have your graphics card tested in another PC. If it still works OK, it could have been a power supply problem.

it might be a hardware conflict or a bad card or your cpu isn't fast enough or you have an old cpu and need to update
