For a while I've have weird glitches with my monitor going to Power Saving Mode.
And finally one day it would not switch back. Now. I know that if I remove my Graphics Card (ATI x850pro) from the AGP port and use the onboard video thru Mobo (intel 865GBF) it will work.
So it is obviously not a monitor/cable issue. It's either the AGP port or card.
I don't have access to other comps or cards.
and tries seeing if card was loose.
I never changed anything in bios. One day it just stopped.
What do i do?

I originally thought it was he power supply. I bought one over the weekend (they both were 500 Watts)
And for more than a year I had no problem at 500 watts

Make sure the card isn't overheating. If it has a fan, make sure that it is turning and that you have adequate air supply moving through the case.
The power supply could also be the issue in that it might just barely have enough power to run the system.
Could be "creep" which develops when the card is heated and cooled. Make sure that it is seated all the way into the slot.

Your ATI X850 draws about 60 watts. It stressed your power supply a lot and one of the rails may have been overloaded. Get a higher rated power supply. A 430W - 480W should run cool and be very stable.

Power supply might be inadequate to run the card.
