6150LE is a integrated graphics card which is what keeps your performance way down, and may be the problem.

I've had this computer for years, and throughout the years I was able to play any game without it screwing up.
But now, even if I play the simplest game, it screws up. It happened right after I replaced my motherboard as my sis was trying out this free trial game that was included with the computer, and it looked like the game was actually a broken mirror, with random lines all over the place. I thought it was just the game, but now i'm fairly certain it is something else.
The graphics card worked fine before, why should it screw up now?

Could be that the card is not compatible with new motherboard along with some other old componants

I had made sure that this motherboard is the same exact model.
I don't think its the motherboard.
Also, before I replaced my motherboard, it was working on and off.
However, when it was working, my dad system reformatted it, thinking its the files that had something to do with the crashes.
I'm not sure if its related to the problem, but it may help.

well mostly all the windows that you get on your PC are OEM versions meaning they are systembuilder licenses, which upon install are attached to the motherboard cuz if you get another motherboard you have to format and reinstall windows.

but if you have a retail copy of windows this should be no problem.

just check all your drivers, reinstall if necessary, the drivers might be in conflict with eachother.

this is all i can come up with right now.

I checked all of them, and they seem to be fine.

lines all over the screen? Sounds like artifacting to me, meaning your graphics card is broke. When putting in a new motherboard, did you use antistatic equipment? If not you may have static damage.

Sadly, I didn't use any antistatic straps or anything similar to it.

no one uses that shit.

but ye it could be artifacts, see if you get another card from a friend and try it.

then you'll know for sure.

You're kidding me right? Wow... Antistatic equipment is a must for when fiddling with components. The bad thing about static damage is you don't know you have it until it's too late...

The smallest amount of static that a human being can physically feel is hundreds of times more than it takes to utterly fry a component. The issue isnt just the wrist straps and such, it's that you need an actual path to ground. If you unplug your computer and put on a wrist strap you still aren't grounded, you need to leave it plugged in but turned off and keep electrical contact with the case.

Good point, that's when I use Antistic Equipment I plug my self into the mains :)

Had any success with comp?

I used to do that but people flip out because they think electrical outlets are magical death pipes, so I just keep the comp plugged in and flip the PSU's switch.
