Okay first of all is this just JA or all games (it could be that the software is the issue than the card, thats why a whittlling process is important)
First simple step is to obtain the latest driver
REMOVE old driver install new one.
Test to see if different..
If no
Next step go START | RUN then type
dxdiag
Run the tests on there see what results you get.
test again if no
Then next step is to reseat the card physically in the slot..
Also worth while trying another/ spare card if available..
Incidentally what card is it? do you know if its AGP or PCI-E?

safe mode is ur best friends btw.....usually itll let u do more diagnostics cuuz less stuff is runing, and it will naturally NOT let any program start without ur approval, so its easier to isolate the problem

a mention on that, since safe mode does not load any graphics drivers do not attempt any game test or dxdiag text in safe mode.
