Confused GeForce 8800 GTS displays wavy lines

Hello I am having a great nite came home from work to find that my computer display showed only wavy lines all accross it. I rebooted the machine and it booted fine as far as I can tell the display still only showed wavy lines. I then re-seated the video card and all the connectors with the same result. I also tried a diffrent monitor and the other plug on the card with the same results. The card is a nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS pci with 320mb of ram. It is only a couple of years old. I am looking for ideas on if you think it is the video card or something else in the machine. It came with the machine when I bought it at Fry's. It is one of there specials that they built. I am running xp on it and have had no issues until now. any help is appreciated.

Re: GeForce 8800 GTS displays wavy lines

try reinstalling the drivers

in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and tempretures and post them
