This happened today.
While in-game there's alot of flickering and white/black stripes. When I exit to desktop the black bar in the middle of the screen serves as a new screen border and theres alot of the before mentioned white/black stripes.

Have considered beating the gpu with a stick, will post results.
Any other suggestions welcomed.

Also, a restart fixes everything for a few minutes after which it comes back with similar results, not as severe if I'm not in-game when it comes back.

It's not the monitor.

Shame the warranty ran out 2 months ago, just my luck.

did, it displayed as it normally should, furthermore I swapped to the integrated card on my mb and everything works fine.

guess the card is dead :/
