Could be graphics card drivers, have a look in device manager to see if
everything looks ok, or reinstall drivers..J
 
Hi S, all you can do then is pull the graphics card, reseat it firmly, and
check all cables carefully. best wishes..J

may well be faulty memory on vidio card. Indicated vidio card will work on
x4 agp.

what it got to do with OS when the startup bios flash up screen comes up all
blotchy
 
i think its me motherboard, because everytime i press a component on, i
think its got a dry joint, the problem disappears for a short time. what i
mean by dry joint is that the solder joint has now become loose and needs a
fresh layer of solder on it
 
That sounds like AGP connector. I've seen that. Pull
the video card, and have a look. It could be dust
down in that connector. I actually have a leaf-blower
in my shop, and I take a dusty computer outside and
air blast the heck out of it.
