I'm running an Nvidia FX 3500 PCI 256 vram on a Gigabyte Mobo with an ATI video chip set. The computer came with an ATI card and i replaced it with an OEM. It was fine, recently I experienced matrixed dashes in rows anc columns as well as triangluated windows in the Vista OS. Problems stopped when I re installed the ATI card.

what wattage power supply do you have? and did you install the video software from the disk, or did you download it from the manufacturers' websites? (I recommend the latter)

Mostly PCI-E now are good vga card, i have a tip for you... there's is a secret between a 512MB & 1GB PCI-E card. With this feature is required a good power supply, like for example I used Power Supply 550watts (original 500watts power supply). This power supply is different from 350watts and 500watts.. Here is a secret buy a 550 watts to boost PCI-E card both 512MB & 1GB. Secretly this performance are based on my own analysis using CPU booster freeware... I'm sure 100% more compatible & perfectly to your motherboard. Just try it at least you have idea where you want to grab PCI-E cards (any Model).
Good luck!
