Is my video card broken?

I'm been seeing some anomalies when I'm playing 3d games on my GeForce 4200. After playing Medal of Honor or UT2003 I'm having some sort of color problem where a bunch of textures on the screen change colors. These textures take on some sort of rainbow effect that I've never seen.

I've also noticed that the screen kind of flickers at random places on the screen itself. It doesn't necessarily happen to the whole screen and only every few seconds.

This problem just started to happen and nothing really changed on my PC. I attempted to re-install the drivers with no luck. I re-installed WinXp and still no luck.

Does anyone have any advice? or know what this problem is?

Thanks for any help.

yup. yer video card. You might try underclocking it, or putting sinks on the memory. Otherwise, you can scrap it on ebay (of course making the conditon known... you'll still get like 75% of the value though).
 
By saying "broken" I think you mean that it no longer works. To find out for sure, lets troubleshoot!

Is your video card in the computer? Is it connected through AGP or PCI? Is your dog licking the PSU? Do you have more than 4 megs of RAM? Can you see this screen?

Hehe, j/k, seriously, I haven't even read your post 😉
