Vertical lines on display with Asus V6800 Pure

[theshamu]

I have an Asus V6800 Pure AGP card. It seems always leave vertical lines on some part of displays - icons, BMPs, web pages. Here's is an EXAMPLE. As you can see it makes reading a page rather difficult.
The problem goes away if I use 256 colors for display, but shows up under high color or true color.
It does not seem to be a driver problem, and it's not the fault of motherboard - tried two boards, one Iwill board, one Asus(!) board.
I suspect it's hardware problem, and Asus is no help (well, they never responded).
Any suggestions, ideas or thoughts?

No I have not overclocked the card. But is there a way to test the card (or memory on the card) to see if it's faulty?

I had an Asus 6800 pure once too. It went tits-up on me while very mildly overclocked and right in the middle of a great game of CS. The first thing to show up was 1/3 of screen, right in the center of the dislay got all snowy/fuzzy. I immediately shut down, and rebooted to check CPU temp, ect., but there were lines in the desk-top, and the icons had lines thru them too. Sound familiar?

Better price out a new card this weekend. Because unless the card has come loose from the AGP slot, it's toast.

That's what I was afraid of. Man did I PAY dearly for that card!
And yes, that Raedon 8500 from Gateway/NECX at $125 is sooo attempting...
