Just turned on my PC and I have lines going down the screen each made of blocks of colour and 3D is covered in blocks too, I assume this means I'm screwed? :)

If so can anyone recommend a replacement for a 9800pro, problem I have is the replacement cannot be any longer or it wont fit in the case :/ I'm planning on a whole new computer in the new year anyway but need tiding over till then.

edit: got a screenshot:

My card is about 17cm long, any longer and it will get stop me connecting up my hard drives, the artic cooler is already millimetres off stopping me using the bottom 2 drives the card itself isn't much further off the top drive.
 
Can you mount the drives somewhere else, like in the floppy bays?
I think most of the decent AGP cards (7600/X800) are longer than 19cm, as they have 256Mb ram or more.
