I've got four 1 inch wide purple colored vertical stripes running across the entire screen, mostly when I bring it out of standby mode. After they clear up the text looks all faded and intermittent. I plugged in a different monitor to test and they went away for awhile-now they're back. I'm thinking my graphic card is on the way out.

I've got a radeon 9800 (4 years old)and it's worked great up until 48 hours ago - any recommendations that are SHIII friendly? I know these are updated constantly so I didn't even bother searching for past posts.
