I'm guessing that this is the graphics card its the only thing thats untried and I've ever had problems with on the system. Almost every start up, before windows even boots lines appear across the screen; all text flashes, appears in various colours and is entirly jumbled; when booted to win it varies at best from unusable to irritatingly stripy. This is solved however on a couple of restarts so that frankly I'm begining to believe it has the monday mornings (now thats an archaic ref 
) as the only link i can see with when it starts right or how few restarts it takes to solve the problem is the temperature of the room!
My drivers are right and all else, give or take, works fine once its started up right.
Anyone got any advice?
