Have you tried running in safe mode to see if problem persists?
White pixels on screen is not a good sign :(
Have you cleaned the card from dust as it could be a overheating problem?
Do you have a spare card you could try just to be sure it is the card?
No dont think its a power problem with a 5200 as it does use much.
If its doing it in safe mode then its not a driver problem either.
Think your card maybe dying :( as its doing it during during format too. Best to try that old card and if problem goes away then its a faulty card you have....sorry for not having good news...
If your looking for a cheap upgrade then a 6200 is a good option though not a huge step up.
Is the old card agp or pci? Does it go in the same slot? If not there is a setting in the bios that you have to change for the initial display type. If its set to agp instead of pci then that may explain why the old card is displayin (if it is psi rather than agp)
It seems it is pci if its this one

Have tried booting in safe mode but it just freezers up.
Also have 2 fans inside not sure that it is over heating.
I do have a spare card which is a old trident card not sure if it would be compatable as I run xp in a pentium 4
Also I noticed when playing a game that the screen will freeze and darken a little and the sound gets stuck on.
And could it be a pwer problem?
Thanks for the help I tried enother graphics card inside.
But did not fix it seems when I turn the tower on it lights up the cd drive and the main light on the tower lights up but then goes out and can only hear the fans inside slightly and then the only way to turn it off is to pull the plug.
Just does not want to kick boot up.

It does not go in the same slot
How do I change the bios when I can't get it to boot up?
Well its now up and working was the power supply.
I thank you for the help.
cheers
