    Hi everyone, i have a MSI kt6v MB, 1GB ram, sempron 3000+, and a powercolor radeon 9250, and having problems with this video card, when i install the driver and reboot the screen apears to be damaged or something, suddenly appears a lot of green dots and then those dots became into lines that make the screen torn like you brushed it, i appreciate if anyone can help me.THX

    I have never heard of that card, but I have had ATI Radeons for the past 5 years and had 2 die on me. Yours sounds like it is dead.
