Sounds like the card might be bad. Have you tried running dxdiag to see
what that shows? Might the card be overclocked (now or in the past could
have damaged it)?

If you are using an IDE cable that's shared with your hard drives/CDs
try using an IDE cable that's not connected to anything else and plug it
directly into the video card. I only say this because I've read users
that were sharing the IDE cable and ran into problems, and using a
separate IDE cable fixed the problem.

Other guess,
PSU is too weak?
Bad video card?

Good luck,
Ed

Two things that jump to my mind here are either a DOA video card or a
problem with your memory (sounds odd I know, but lines on the screen
and those blinky yellow boxes are often a tell-tale sign of bad
memory). Pull the video card out and try running a test on your
memory, www.memtest86.com should do well. If the memory checks out
after a couple of hours or running this test then you are probably
looking at a DOA video card. Hope the store you purchased it from has
a good return policy!

web forums.

Did you remove the old video drivers?
