Troubles w/ my display

[Drewstein69]

I curretnly use an AMD Athlon 2600 + w/ 512 MB SDRAM. The problem comes from my GeForce 5200 FX 128 MB video card it seems. i was in the middle of playing World of Warcraft when all fo the sudden my computer rebooted itself, once it was back to my Windows log-in, my display was permenantly set to 620 x 480 resolution w/ 4 bit colour. When I go into my Display options, it shows I can choose others but when I apply them, it still stays in 4 bit 640 x 480. I updated my drivers last march or so, I can't quite remember but nothing is changing back to the way ti was before. Will I need to get a new video card or will it maybe be something more that needs to be done? Thanks.

Funny thing is, after updating again, now works like a charm. Thanks for the help. I was actually looking at getting a new card sometime soon anyway Thanks again though.
