if it worked before and not anymore now, how about do a clean install of Windows maybe?

i have tried that but with no use .... some guys tell me it might be the memory on th card ... but iam not sure what to do 🙁

Do the lines appear at the bios setup screen, or are they only visible in windows?

What kind of lines?Do they appear like cuts in the image?Do they scroll?It sounds like a problem i had with my 9500pro (and many others have).That is thought to be an issue with electromagnetic interference.
Does the card benchmark and run games ok?

no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]
