King Cobra

I recently bought a NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT graphic card to replace my old card (which also was an NVIDIA card but another one which I can't remember) and since then I have had some problems with NHL04 (which I prefer to play, better than the newer games).

It has happened twice the recent two weeks that the game frozes and when it starts again, the graphics and colors are totally f***ed up, like big numbers on the glass round the rink and small faces instead of numbers on the players arms or the ice black instead of white (different scenarios both times). The only thing to do is to re-start the game which is not so funny when you have a 6-2 lead in the third period.

Has anyone else had similar problems and in this case, can you reccomend another graphic card which won't mess up the game like this one obviously is doing.
