But oh ya'. I kind of agree with the video driver card too as a potential culprit. 9 times out of 10 I've had hardware problems it's been a bad video card driver, a bad video card, or even sometimes it just wasn't seated properly in the slot (ie., needed a wiggle and thump to get it to shove in the last few microns and connect up properly).

Sometimes just moving the PC around with the cables plugged in, the cable can yank on the video card and that's all it takes. Anyhow, it's worth opening up the case and doing some gentle percussive maintenance on the card. Methinks anyhow..
