Today I thought I would play some Black Ops, but when I got into the game I was met with ridiculous glitches at the menu. I was just wondering what would cause this (I suspect my graphics card is fried).

Black Ops is the only game where it's this bad. The only other things I've noticed that's been acting weird today is in Civ 5, where newly-revealed land would flash yellow for a split second, and Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter crashes after a little loading. All other games function as before (Overlord 2, Minecraft, Doom, etc.) Single-player Blacks Ops would also let me play, whereas multi-player would get a fatal error when I tried to join a server.
I have an 8800 GTS, only about 2 years old. My motherboard is even less at 1 year.
So does it seem like a fried graphics card, other failed hardware, or something different?
