I had the same problem, colors going wild.
Smart Doctor from ASUS told me that the graphics card didn't get the power it needed, and I had to contact the supplier from the motherboard
In my case it was eventually my motherboard that was defective. PDT_Armat:
But it could also be a driver problem, have you tried to install other drivers, newer or older versions?

oh dear.

no AGP slot, your gonna have to either.

a) settle for a PCI card, (still gonna be better than what u got now - by a country mile)

b) get a new mobo & grfx card.

if you can raise the funds, go b)

you may then find you can actually hit what you shoot at. *;-)

this thread may help
