Is it the video card not initializing on the motherboard or is it a video card problem or a monitor problem.

same problem...hope to get help as well.

I have a geforce 4 ti 4200, not O/Ced. When i start warcraft 3...in less than a minute the whole screen would go crazy. Rainbow colors...just colors everywhere...the sound still works..so I'm pretty sure its the videocard? Any fixes or just a bad card?

Does it happen to be a Gainward video card?

You've got a bad vidcard - more particularly, bad RAM on the vidcard. Exchange it if you can.

 

[PlaystAzn]

yes!!! Gainward!!! so....it means bad ram?

 

[SunnyD]

Yeah, there was a batch of Gainward Ti4200's that have this problem, get ahold of gainward and they'll fix it for ya.
