I fired up my computer last night and started having issues almost immediately. I opened up Firefox, and everything seemed to freeze up for a few seconds. After that the screen went blank and started up again, and I got a message that the nVidia drivers had crashed and restarted. My computer behaved normally again for a few seconds then bam, same thing happens. I've got two hard drives with two different OSs on my system, so I booted up into XP and I was getting similar issues as well.
Now when I turn on my computer there are funny lines going up and down the screen, and as soon as Windows starts loading it'll give me a blue screen of death and crash. My gut instinct is that this is a video card issue, but I'm trying to think if anything else weird could be going on.
