    I have a Dimension 5150 with dual 1600 x 1200 monitors running off a Radeon X600 256MB graphics card.
    A few days ago all my desktop icons started to appear with lines running through them, everything else including videos were appearing normally.
    Now my videos have lines through them and have a green tint to them.
    I guess i need a new graphics card?

    Thanks for your feedback Nick.
    There is no problem when booting which im guessing is what "posting" is so yeah i guess i need a new card.

    I'm not great with computers so if anyone could save me the hassle of ordering the wrong thing by recomending a card with VGA and DVI or dual DVI i would really appreciate it. The machine is only used for Poker so I dont need anything special.

    Posting is the first time start up sequence yeah, I'd say its video card related alrite, if you dont need a demanding card a VGA/DVI one should do fine, there generally the low end though, the DVI/DVI cards usually come with a VGA->DVI adaptor so you can still use a VGA connection on them. You could try as a last resort uninstalling the video cards drivers and reinstalling them in case the issiue is driver related, if not a new card is needed
