It appears that your system is not managing to load the specific video
driver for your card when it boots, and is falling back on the standard VGA
driver.  This could mean:

a) that the driver you have installed has become corrupted, or

b) that some piece of hardware on your video card has failed.

  Try downloading and installing the latest manufacturer driver for your
card.  If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the card.
