8500LE makes picture with bunch of lines, weird colors, can't see anything

Hi!

here's a screenshot of how it looks like when that happens
http://www.geocities.com/micko_escalade/8500LE/index.htm

I can load windows and work in it with no problems then all of a
sudden this happens just like a tickin' bomb, when I open a app or
switch between windows,
I had this card in my other system P4 1.7 and it was workin with no
problems, and this started to happen recently,
I have direct x 9.0a and latest drivers from ati,
I also had a clean install of win 2000 on other HD and I booted from
there and the same thing happend
now I put back to my P4 system and same thing happens, so its
something with gc,

I took 2 pics from BIOS one from
Frequency voltage control
http://www.geocities.com/micko_escalade/8500LE/Frequency_voltage_control/index.htm
and other PC Health status
http://www.geocities.com/micko_escalade/8500LE/pc_health_status/index.htm

I also I also used Rage3D Tweak to underclock it and by default it was
@
Core Clock: 229.50 MHz
memory Clock: 229.50 MHz
so I set it to lowest 204.8 MHz
and still no luck

I'm sorry for such a long post but this drives me crazy, my com is now
useless, what ever I start to do when this happens I have to press
power button to reboot
any ideas?

thanx




My system specs:
Epox 8k5a2+
AMD XP 2000+
256 MB PC3200 Corsair

Click to expand...

Can you try another video card? If it doesn't happen with another video
card, I would be returning the 8500...

Thanx for the reply,
Yes, I tested it with other card and my 8500LE causes this
I would return it but I bought it over internet long time ago

Try to disable DDS information of the monitor. It could give wrong
information to the card.
