I just put this in my computer. I installed it and got the latest drivers.

Every game I've tested so far is messed up in some way. For example, America's Army: Sometimes the startup screen it normal with just flickering, sometimes its this blood-red liquidy effect that makes everything illegible. Sometimes when I'm playing, the characters look like newspapers in body form: white with black lines across them everywhere. It's random, not to mention annoying.

The real reason I got this card was so I could play EQ ( everquest ) again, seeing as how they upgraded their graphics engine. I'm not sure if any of you play it, but when I click play, the first screen (the EULA) is flashing red, white gray etc. Same with the next screens right up to the login one. I cannot make out anything.

Is there some option or anything I can change to stop this from happening. I spent a long time trying to install this piece as the bracket was totally crappy, and now this.. I mean, seriously, what's with the redness and flickering of all of my games?

EDIT: If you happened to view the EQ screenshots, you might have noticed that the driver for my card says it's from a couple months ago..well it is, although I have tried the latest ones too, I just thought I'd give that one a go..

heres something crazy. Its your power supply or motherboard. I put the card into my new rig, and it worked perfectly and that is how i concluded that it must have been one of the other two. Im going more for the psu due to it having a burn mark on where it connects w/ the motherboard, but maybe that burn mark messed up the motherboard. The ram passes P95 fine so i also knew it wasnt that. So check both of these components. Maybe u have the same crappy "tigerpro" 300w psu that i had. Try my theory out. put it in something diff.
