The GVP HC8+ card on my A2000 has done this in the past. Doesn't any more, but

The graphics card does not click. If it's coming from the box, it could be the
hard disk failing.

Take the machine apart, completely, then reassemble it cleaning connectors as
you go. Make sure you're static safe.

If you can't get it working, I'll buy the machine while you get yourself an
A4000.
