graphics problem

when plays games on my computer randomly the graphics will get all
blockly and pixelated playing almost any game, if you push down
lightly on the corner of the video card then it fixs the problem for
a little while. I have a elitegroup k7vta v8.0 motherboard with a amd
athlon xp 1800 processor and a visiontek xtasy 9200 Agp video card my
old pci video card worked fine only since i started using the agp one
has the problem occured. I was wondering if any one knew what could be
the problem with this? i was thinking the agp slot possibly loose on
the motherboard or just a bad video card. thanks for the help.

Remove the video card and shine a light into the slot to see if some foreign
material may be in it.
Some AGP cards have to be pushed pretty firmly to have them seat properly in the
slot.
On others, the metal tab that the screw goes in sometimes pulls the card
slightly out of the slot when the screw is tightened to the back of the case.
