Help with X1650SE

Hopefully someone can help me here, my graphics card appears to be playing funny games.

In IE images are all pixelated and look really bad, some of my desktop is the same, yet if I open Photoshop images are fine as are webpages in Firefox.

Even the Smilies on the right > look really bad right now in IE.

Does anyone have any suggestions, tried all different kinds of drivers, one from HP, ATI and another I found.

Specs of card are MSI Griffon 512mb-3.1 which going by the HP part number is a Ati Radeon X1650SE 512mb PCI-E card.

I am running Vista Home Basic 32 Bit in a HP M7670.uk.a machine attached to a HP 19" widescreen HPw19ev

Any suggestions?

Just checked in photoshop as well on the 'New Thread' button on here, IE is zooming in on it and other gif's/jpegs etc, so instead of 110x26px it's longer and wider and all pixelated.

First off...Welcome to DEV vectraturbo

Can you give us the rest of your specs...the more we know the better we can help.

From what you are describing ...I would say either a Driver/Heat issue or just a plain faulty card.

1/Have you changed drivers recently ?
2/What temp is your card running at ?
3/What are your case temps ?
4/How old is the card...and when was the last time you cleaned your case of dust ?

I would take off the side of your comp to check for dust and see if the fan on the Vidcard is working.
If you changed your driver try reverting back to the old ones to see if you still have these probs.
