the old 386, i remember having a green screen radio shack, had to spend days writing thousands of pages of code just to get a game to play,
but it was most simple then,
basic program would be something like this
10 print "420mag"=
20 goto 10
30 run
that would make 420mag run in lines across and down the screen, damn writing stuff was easy then, but your right you could throw them under a bus and they would still work, i remember the motherboard unit for my 486, its was huge took up over half the desk,
its hard to imagine how we coped with what we had, kids of today would be shocked at some of the computers we had, the amstrad cpc 464 was high tech in its day, i paid 500 quid for it and had to wait 45 min for a game to load from tape, could not save your game either, so you left it on for days or just started again, not much different to a zx spectrum.
but static is a huge problem with todays gadgets, just sliding a phone in and out of your trouser pocket can create thousands of volts discharging into the phone, plus its amazing how products break just after the warranty runs out, you think by now they could design chips and processors that lasted for ever, but they dont and clearly it can be done, look how long some of them old computers lasted, if we hung on to them i bet most would still be working now and as good as they worked when they was new
Have you pulled the new vid card out to see if it was the conflicting hardware? Of course you have...dumb question..still no workie??? 
I have had the same thing happen with computer AND car building; you get NEW parts and they are faulty. It really sucks when it is a fuel pump mounted inside your gas tank! Good luck with this, I hope the problem gets resolved soon for you...
