i am having problems with my geforce 4 ti 4400. i have the what happens is that my screen will just freeze up and i will have to restart the computer. before it freezes up, it will display these weird spots on the screen. when it restarts, it often has funky characters in vertical lines on the screen. i have already sent 1 identical geforce4 back for a rma thinking the card was bad but this one does it too... it worked fine for a while but now it just started up. any suggestions on any of that? the people at nvidia are telling me to talk to pny and pny is telling me to talk to nvidia. i have posted 3 pictures of what it looks like:

the pictures of when my system is showing the POST messages makes me really sure that it isn't a driver problem at all. people have told me that is what it is but drivers don't exactly load when you first start the computer. i am just trying to figure out if it is the video card or the mobo. i don't really have any other computer to test my video card in otherwise i would have done that a long time ago. thanks for any help you can give me.
