7800GS playing up

I seem to have a bit of a problem with my 7800GS.

Today, I had the task of trasnporting my rig, by train, to Reading. Upon arrival, it wouldn't post at all. I tried a variety of things, and found that the reset button had broken on my case.

Not a problem, I removed it from the motherboard, and it POSTed successfuly, bar the fact that the BIOS needed resetting.

Now, I seem to be getting sub-par graphics performance. I noticed WoW was very choppy (1-5fps down from my usual 30-50) and, upon running 3dmark05, my score is ~4k, which seems a little low.

Tried reseating RAM, video card, pulling stuff out, plugging stuff in, reinstalling drivers, all to no avail.

Any suggestions as to what's happened?
 
I'm not getting a low ping, nor is it "lagging".

The frame rate is just very very low.
