Hey guys -

I'm having a bit of a problem...

3 weeks ago: Bought an ATI Radeon at best buy for $99. Worked great - but noticed some flickering here and there. 5 days later, the card went berzerk and wouldn't display anything properly anymore.

2 weeks ago: Returned that one, and got a replacement. Worked GREAT. Rock solid picture.

1 week ago: See the All-in-wonder radeon on sale for $135, decide to get that instead. Returned the regular radeon, put this in. No problems yet - but again I am getting some little flickering here and there, and if I highlight a graphic on a web page (so that it goes half-blue? - highlight the anandtech logo to see what I mean) the flickering there is pretty intense. Again, I'm pretty sure I did not see ANY of this with the "good" radeon that I returned.

Any thoughts?!? What is going on with these ATI cards... I'm pissed that I took back the one that was working perfectly and now am getting wierdness again. I don't think this is any kind of external interference issue...?
