Video card fried and/or scrambled.
Replaced my nice speedy GeForce 6600GT with my emergency backup card (a Radeon 9200), and I'm back in business.
It's a pretty slow card - a quarter the speed of what I had - but it works.
If I can't get the 6600GT to work again, I think I'll pick up a 7600GS to replace it. Or maybe an X1650Pro.
I'd like a card with dual DVI ports, but there aren't any*, because video card manufacturers are dicks.
* In decent AGP cards under A$500, that is.** If I was looking at PCI-E, I'd have no problems. But I'm not. Bah.
** Well, there's this, but it's not actually available yet, so it doesn't count.

Pity there aren't any games I want to play at the moment. Except maybe Viva Piñata.

That 'splains why my 5500 goes stupid near the end of a long Civ IV session. And then not allow the PC to boot up for the next half hour or so.
Looks like a trip to Norvac or Wacky Willy's is in order.
