graphics problem

[darkwolf383]

when I play games on my computer randomly the graphics will get al
blockly and pixelated playing almost any game, if you push dow
lightly on the corner of the video card then it fixs the problem fo
a little while. I have a elitegroup k7vta v8.0 motherboard with a am
athlon xp 1800 processor and a visiontek xtasy 9200 Agp video card m
old pci video card worked fine only since i started using the agp on
has the problem occured. I was wondering if any one knew what could b
the problem with this? i was thinking the agp slot possibly loose o
the motherboard or just a bad video card. thanks for the help

Take the card outof the slot. Get a small eraser and rub all the pins
in the motherboard slot to remove the dust buildup.

Also, make sure that when you replace the card, make sure its fully
seated AFTER you've secured it to the case.
