Do you have a 2nd PC you can test your video card in? Or a 2nd video card you can try in your PC? That's really the only way to isolate the failure for sure.
Sadly I dont have a 2nd pc that support PCI card so I cant test it, and the pc was born with this card so I dont have a 2nd either.

the "wacky artifacts" comes as soon as i boot up so does the blue stribes
