right about a month ago i was playin nfpmw on my pc and it crashed you coukd drive through walls and that sort of stuff and then it froze and rebooted it self and when it came back on i had about 5/6 lines running down the middle
like so

so i thought it was probably the graphics card had bust (Ati Radeon 9800xl) rang medion who we bought the pc off and they said that aswell so they came and replaced the graphics card and it worked and about 2 days ago i was playin COD2 and it happned again but surely it cant be the graphics card again and if you hit it on the side not 2 hard the lines will change (see the video) i was just wondered if anyone could help me find out whats wrong o and before all this happened i installed a pioneer 109 if that has anything to do with it

The pioneer 109 is dvd burner right. Maybe your PSU can't quite handle it.

Or maybe your TFT has a little problem with its inverter board ?

Did Medion really check on graphics card or did they just replace it ?

Test the TFT on another pc first to make sure it's not the screen, and does your TFT has a sub-d and dvi input, if so, do you get these stripes on both inputs.

I'm 100% sure that it's the gfx problem, I had the same thing back in the days, memory on your graphic card is propably burned down, it's common problem with cheap graphic card providers such as Palit Daytona, Medion etc.
