I'm not sure about the RADEON9800, but some AGP gfx cards require that the PCI slot directly below it be empty.  That may be causing a problem, it might not...  Not sure, sorry.

my pci slot right under it is empty but thx, anyone else?

Run dxdiag and report back.

If you've got lines missing it sounds like doddgy pipelines?
I have a 9800SE that can be soft modded to a 9800 pro by enabling the piplines

BUT if the piplelines are damaged you get lines and artifacts on the screen. I'd check where you baught the card


Edit -
"ati and omega drivers" -  the omega drivers are what will mess it up (they enable pipelines that don't nessesarily work) Try the catalist ones

Now run the tests on dxdiag (There should be Direct3D and DirectDraw or something like that)

all tests were succesfull
