Yep - poor encode, mismatched codecs, settings and players, any number
of things that go bump in the night with video. I've an OEM chipset
ATI 9800 and an older Saphire RADEON 8500, both running large HDTVs,
that do fine for most anything thrown at them in the way of video
encodes. All but for MKV 720p/1080p BluRay, larger encodes, which
tend push limits on AGP and sub-3Ghz systems.

Make sure Fast Writes is enabled in both the motherboard BIOS and ATi
SmartGART control panel. This is necessary for DXVA to kick in (don't ask me
why). Are you using the latest CoreAVC codecs?

I am going to take the card out again and reapply thermal paste to the
gpu and heatsink, maybe that will work. I thought once the chip was
acting up it was over but hopefully just bringing down the temperature
is all it needs, Although the fan isn't going at high speed like when
the card has been chugging away at some graphic intensive job.

Can you recommend something that would work? Thanks.

Any chance you have your (Dell) Dimension (bootable) Resource CD around
anywhere?

If so, you can boot to that disc and run any manner of individual or full
system quick or extended tests on the graphics card or on all components.

?

I do and in the meantime I ran something called Check It Diagnostics.
By passed the video and graphics tests, by its perspective, but during
The DirectDraw Test the dotted vertical lines were present in the
display.
