I noticed that my new 9500 Pro display lines across my screen like some type of electrical interference. I have isolated it to the card in the AGP slot. If I press down or move the card in the slot the lines will dissappear or change their direction of movement. Is this the card or the AGP slot? I have a GeForce 2 card before that never did this. I am thinking it is the card. Maybe from all the power it needs to run - I upgraded to a 430 W supplay. Could it be from the fan on the card? I have checked the refresh rates, dislay rates, monitor, power supply, cables, etc. all the same.

Yeah mine does this to. The only way that I was able to fix it is to change the refresh rate to 70 hrz. I don't know of any other solution.
 
what kinda peripherals do you have near it? Or outside sources(out of the PC) that pull alot of electricity?

You might be getting some noise intererence with some things causing the lines across the screen.
