So this past week my computer started freezing up.  I checked around the net for some ideas and found that it may be PCI or power connections.  I opened up the case, secured all connections and started the machine back up.  Everything is back to normal now except that my video card is performing minimally.  I have a ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128MB video card and it has a dual output via SVideo that I send to my monitor and TV.  For some reason, after the slow period last week, my drivers were corrupted or something.  My dual output does not work at all and the video card will not install itself correctly so my video capabilities are all messed up (scroll is choppy and high motion is affected).  I have written ATI but have not heard a response yet.  I can not find my ATI disk so the P&P has to use the default settings in windows.  The drivers at ATI will not initiate.  Basically my $200 video card is performing like a $25 POS until I can figure out how to get this thing installed correctly again.   YAY soooooo fun.
