where in the room is it? someplace with little airflow? Have you ran it with the cover off the pc to see if the fan is running? It sounds like heat and too much o/c'ing the card.

no overclocking and the fan is cleaned regularly the pc is on the floor by the door so plenty of airflow - but now its in the pc in the outhouse so very cool yet the same problem - i thinks its on its last legs :-(

Try wabbling the video cable's connector connecting to your Video Card, normally a 9-pin Dsub, because poor electrical connections between it may cause the above mentioned video effects. Worth trying.

Like OCdragon said, it just sounds to me like it's not getting enough juice. Perhaps the connection on the card has gone bad, or your PSU just isn't beefy enough for it.

I would tend to say it is either: overheating in and around the video card, or poor electrical connections on the card connector/external video connector. PSU not giving enough power would tend to be far more drastic in that the whole PC may freeze or crash IF it happens.
