It's either your video card came loose or it just died.
My experience with video cards - don't reset or restart too often.
I lost my 7600GT in that manner, trying to remove viruses and malware.
In the end, I bought a cheapo 8500GT, reformatted my drive, and installed Vista.

When you do reinstall in XP, install everything then do a one-time restart.
