Time for a new video card; it's fries.

Hi, I hope someone can help with this problem that has occurred without any prior warning. I have XP SP2 and a Radeon 9800SE graphics card. Yesterday when I logged on to my PC I had a poor display which started as vertical lines or bands and gradually deteriorated. Initially I downloaded the latest drivers but then found through my Device Manager that the latest version was already in the system. I physically checked the card and its connections and they appear ok. I used a couple of utilities - windows autofix, and dxdiag in the run box - to check my system. I found that with both I received a message telling me that there was a Shell Hardware Detection problem and that the video driver was not being detected. DirectDraw worked ok. Now I can only log onto my PC in safe mode as my machine keeps loading up and then returns to the boot screen. I'm at a loss to know what to do now to resolve the problem. In case this is material...I recently upgraded my RAM and made every efforts to ensure that no static was generated when I had to move my graphics card. I'm wondering if I have inadvertently knackered [excuse the technical jargon] my card, even though this was about two weeks ago. Heeeeelp!
