[William Elgh]

after i exit a game i see a lot red and green lines all over the screen and some times the whole screen is flickering.... is it my card?

what type is it? & how old?

 

[William Elgh]

it is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT, dont really know how old, maybe 1 or 2 years...

it might be pointing out to a defect in the graphics card and or is dying

 

[Daniel Higgins]

mine did that just before it died, would be playing a game and the screen would be filled with purple/green boxes then after a couple of days it was like that permanetly.

Check the temperatures of the card, should be visible in the driver suite/display properties. Cards may do that when they are overheating, and it is a sign of a possible future failure/death. I had a card that worked but would draw crazy stuff over my screen in games, had to replace it.

I have a fully working 7300GT you can have for a few quid, drop me a line if your interested. Thanks
