Can anybody help or advise please.
I switched on my PC yesterday and I found my graphics kept on cutting
in and out.
The screen would go black and then click back on again and this kept
happening. When it did settle, everytime I clicked on the screen, it
would cut in and out again.
I have a 256Mb GeForce FX5600XT
I reinstalled the driver and then installed the latest driver from
Nvidia. Nothing changed.
I cheched all the normal settings in display and refresh rate and they
were as normal.

I then replaced my graphics card with one that had been taken out of my
sons PC on a recent upgrade which I knew was working ok
This was a 128Mb GeForce FX5200.
Again nothing changed.
I visually checked for anything I could see on the motherboard. I could
not see any dirty or loose contacts.

I then decided that I would re-format the drive and reinstall the
O/system. I found that the screens froze on reinstallation when I had
either the 256Mb or 128Mb cards in.
I found an old card in the cupboard a 32Mb GeForce MX 100 and this
allowed me to reinstall the O/system. I have tried to get the 256 and
128 cards to operate and they are exactly the same..

My question is to ask if this sounds like a motherboard problem or if
not, what else can I do or check to find the problem.

My PC is a Pentium IV 3.06 on a ASRock P4VT8 motherboard with 1Gb of
dimm memory.
