Video card problems. Pixels not showing. Can you help?

Okay so I bought this Nvidia GeForce 6200 Video card about a year ago. I installed the drivers and installed the item into my computer. I booted it up and everything seemed fine. I went back the next morning and booted it up. When I opened a Window or went to Google some pixels would not show. They are just little black or white spots where the colors should be. They same spots are not in the same place every time I open the window or go to a website. I have tried updating, uninstalling, reinstalling, different drivers and anything I could think of. I have tried switching the monitors out from the one that I have but it did not seem to work. I went through about 20 different monitors. I am stumped... I have tried everything... If someone could help that would be great.|||20 monitors? thats insane. with that much money you could have bought like 30 new video cards



I suggest making sure #1 it's seated correctly on the motherboard, maybe try carefully re-seating it, getting all dust etc out



#2 doing the driver updates as soon as you get the internet going, go to nvidia, find your card exactly, and manually install the drivers



#3 check your nvidia card settings, there may be something off... could be anything? make sure refresh rate is ok, color, etc... try less or more of each and see if that helps



#4 if you still are stumped i bet it is your videocard, it is a year old, and well outdated

Mine is a couple years old and is an 8800 geforce card, it's working great none the less, but i can't imagine using a 6 series card right now maybe a 6800 or something, but not for anything more than youtube. definitely not games etc.



you could always buy a cheap 6800 or 7600 card or better on ebay or www.newegg.com

just read around first



FYI the geforce cards, 1st number the 6 in your case is the series, the technology of that time at it's best

2nd number, the 2 in your case, is the model and performance of the card of that series, low numbers of coarse being lower performance than higher numbers



a 6800 series card may perform better than a 7200 card (if those even exist), you catch my drift?



so think about it that way as well.|||Is the card getting enough power? It won't work correctly with an inadequate power supply.

Minimum of a 300 Watt power supply.

(minimum +12 Volt current rating of 18 amps)
