Have you been able to boot into safe mode and reinstall the newest drivers?
If that doesn't fix it, take a look in your BIOS to see if any of your AGP
bios tweaks have changed...maybe the slot switched from 8x to 4x or
something odd.
If none of that helps, you may need a new graphics card. Does yours have a
fan? I've found that if they don't, their lives seem to be shorter...

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 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!
