seems like the ATI 9800 pro is going to bite the dust, what happens if you run games?
do you get weird graphics (weird colors, and other graphic glitches) HunterICX

Moved the card carefully a litle to the left and the right, mes about with the the plug at the right and now its gone, don't know for how long. Perhaps the contacts are filthy? |

what about the card itself, is there a lot of dust on the card? if so, clean it carefully with a soft brush, especially around the area of the fan. HunterICX

If you want my opinion on it, sounds like a faulty or stuck pin, possibly cable, possibly the connector on the card. Make sure all the screws are firm for the VGA connector where it mounts to the board. -S |

I would replace it though, a 9800 is even older than my X1600... (Rofl, Just remembered how the 9800 was the latest and greatest a while ago)
