Graphic Card Problem

Ok I have a few questions. A Few days ago my computer blue screened with an error about nvlddmkm.sys. I looked it up and tried a few fixes. I updated the drivers for my NVDIVA 9800GT and I still had the problem. I then started to roll back the drivers as far back as I could and I still have the problem.
Here are some pics of my screen. It's so bad that I can't even get into normal windows. I think my card is going bad. I have an EVGA 780i mobo.







My questions are:
1. Do you agree that my card is going bad an I need a new one?
2. I was thinking of buying an ATI card. Will an ATI card work with my mobo?
3. I would like to have a card better then my 9800GT, but with the ATI chipset. I have found two that I think are better then it. But I don't know alot about ATI cards. So the question here is are the cards I pick better then my 9800GT?
