I have the idea my hardware is faulty, when I got this pc the videocard was already not working.
I installed a geforce 4200 and when I boot knoppix some words arent displayed correctly and there are some weird lines all over the screen.
What could be wrong with my hardware??

thats not really what I meant, Im realy thinking I have bad hardware, but could bad hardware cause this problem?
Probably due to the generic nvidia driver not being very good. The one from nvidia is a lot better. There are plenty of howto's on nvidia if you google or search this forum.
I think it is the bios, because even when booting there are some abnormal lines there...I think my pc is f**ked
If it's a PCI card try changing the slot.
Look at the video options in the bios and try a bios update.
If video has never worked on the pc perhaps the mobo really has a hardware fault. What mobo and bios version?
I think im going to return the pc as the vidcard is also broken.
And I tried an agp slot the pci slot and the express slot and all of them give those stripes.
