Can you help me diagnose...

I think I know what the issue is, but do not want to say ahead of time and possibly steer the conversation the wrong way.

My PC has worked flawlessly over the prior year before ?issues?.

Over the last few months, I have noticed small tearing on my computer screen - small green horizontal lines intermixed with any types of displays I am viewing (office programs, web browsers, etc). Included with this extra eye candy is the occasional "blink" of my computer screen - for about a second my display will turn completely black and come back.

I have a Dell 19' 2001FP, BFG 6800 Ultra 256mb card...I think the rest of my rig is in my sig. What are your thoughts, and if I wanted to RMA something, how can I definitively prove (via a reportable test) that [something] is broken and therefore needs to be returned?
