Overclocking gone wrong?

Currently i have a faded picture on my monitor and banding across it -- the picture is ruined and i checked all cables are in good and drivers are reinstalled etc etc. even reinstalled windows to be sure. So, is this terrible picture due to the overheating or something else. If it's not the overheating, what DOES happen when a chip gets overclocked too much, will it even work?

ps i didn't actually overclock my card (geforce 2) but i suspect that the fan hasn't been working properly and that it has probably overheated -- i've been running Baldur's Gate 2 which seems quite graphics intensive for quite a few hours per day over the last few weeks and suddenly my picture has gone..

Anyway i figured you guys might know the answer,
thanks!
