radeon 9000, while running 3d games..

Recently my radeon 9000, which i have had for quite a while now, is starting to give me problems.

When I boot up a 3d game the monitor goes crazy, everything gets blocked up and little pin stripes scatter across the screen.
even after I close the game down the screen stays like that until i reboot, and then while I am rebooting something are out of place.
Like a few messed up fonts or a few lines here and there on the bios and windows splash screens.

This was only happening after i played a game for a while, but now its happens with in 2 to 3 seconds of 3d graphics starting up (game menus work fine)

I have moved my pc A LOT and im thinking I damaged my card or its getting old and is just burning up.
any one have any insight?
I have windows 2000
I have changed my operating system several times over the last 1.5 years
I have messed with hardware acceleration (helped a tiny tiny bit)

do you have your card overclocked?

Im thinking its been damaged by how much it gets moved from one place to another
