A system I built for my parents(my previous hardware) a while ago is now displaying intermittant video issues. The screen will suddenly display all lines of various colors. It won't do it until booted into winxp. The system is a 1330 AMD T-Bird on an Iwill mobo with 512MB of crucial PC133, GeForce2 32mb, 300w PSU which is kinda old, old ibm 9 GB HD.
Heres what I've done which has not worked:
1. switched monitors
2. pulled out the AGP vid card and put in a PCI vid card
3. pulled out the memory 1 stick at a time
4. used different keyboard and mouse(which I knew would do nothing)
My thoughts are PSU or HD, and I'm leaning towards HD, b/c it is slow as hell. This system was a lot faster when it was mine with my WD 40GB HD. I'm just not sure if these symptoms would come from the HD.
Thoughts and insight would be greatly appreciated.
