More than likely, if you have onboard video, take the card out, if the problem goes away, it is the card. If you don't have onboard video or another card to test, I would just RMA the card anyway.

And it won't hurt to check the wire.
(is that the right english word ? cable ? wire ?)

The video cable rarely goes bad, but you can try bending it at both ends and see if that makes a different.

Something like this happened to my laptop once. My dad accedently hit it with his elbow and the screen went all red in black areas and in certain colors. It fixed it self by heating up after 8 or so hours of gaming :p
