Had a similar problem with my computer not long ago. Lines up and down screen and it would lock up. Put in new graphics card and all is well.

Would this cause the computer to restart itself? Also the computer is quite old and i cant find out what the model is to buy a new graphics card. So im a bit stuck.....

Default Monitor Problem

If your card is continually re-setting it's vga settings, regardless of any prefences changes you may or may not make then it's shot I'm afraid.

The lines on the screen strongly suggest it's losing it's settings.

New card time methinks. This isn't driver related by the way.

This would be a great buy if no one else bid.lol
Other than that look for an nVidia FX5500 or ATi 9250.
Im not sure what performance you are used to and hence what performance you will expect form a new card.
You can get AGP cards very cheap if performance is not an issue
