video problem

Hi.
I recently reformat my hard drive and after a week my computer wont boot the OS(xp). I did a restart and OS loaded successfully. But strange thing happened, there are vertical lines on my monitor that I cant take it anymore. I thought it was OS problem so I reloaded xp. I managed to reload xp successfully but I'm still getting same problem. I tried using different OS(98) but it didn't work as well. I've tried updating my video card's driver...same problem. Is it a problem of my video card(Inno3d geforce2 mx200)? Or my MB maybe?
Please help.
Thanks...

You've established that it's not the OS and, unless that's an integrated graphics card, it's not the motherboard (Or did you mean monitor?).
Try your video card in a friend's computer or if you have a friend with a card that will work with your computer swap in that (remember about switiching drivers if necessary).

could it perhaps be your monitor?

couldent hurt to try that monitor on a different computer or a different monitor on your computer.

process of elimination is the key to finding answers!
