    Don't know if it's dying or not - but it looks like the symptoms of a card I had that died.

    Any system modifications, aggressive card overclocking, or accidents lead up to this display? Did it just start doing it one day? It's immaterial per se - just wanted to know the context of the malfunction.

    Ahhhhh...you didn't flash that to an XT perhaps? Or yeah, like Leo said, do any modifications anywhere?

    The 5200 series are budget cards, with budget performance. If you are looking for a replacement for the 9000, well, perhaps. If you need an upgrade for the 9000, don't even think about the Nvidia 5200.

    I'm not much for watching DVD anything on a computer, so I'll let some of our resident video/graphics whizbangs give recommendations on a new card for you.

    Let's here the suggestions, folks.
