Graphics problem?

Hi all. I have just upgraded my graphics card to an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro and now find that the screen occasionally shows feint lines moving up and down. I didn't get this before with my old 7500 card. Refresh rate is 75hz which should be fine. Could it be due to the drivers? If not, what is causing it?
Thanks.

ensure you compeletly uninstall the drivers of the former card (not just disable) then go to your manufacturers website and download the latest drivers for your new card (not just install from Driver CD).

Is the card connected to the power supply?

Yes it is connected to a 300w power supply. Have increased my refresh rate to 85hz which has helped a bit. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers too.
