If you are, what you're experiencing seems to be normal behavior for those. In

The card will work in a Sawtooth, but it will NOT run an ADC monitor. The

Lines popping up in an animation followed by the computer freezing is
indicative of a failing video card. What you're seeing is called artifacting
and it's caused by either a failing GPU chip, or failing memory on the card.
It can also be caused by using the wrong ROM to flash the card,
