Video card: Nvidia GTX 260

After half hour playing i got green and everything was locked. Had to restart the pc. Cant run furmark for more than 30 sec either before it crashes.

Is gpu damaged ?

First the ATi GPU's Grey Screen Of Death now nVidia Green Screen Of Death?

Okay, I doubt the two are related but those are the exact same symptoms of the GSOD with ATi GPU's, I had them myself and had to RMA my card. I have not seen them since. What are your temps like?
 
my temps are usually normal. around 53c idle.
i have seen yellow-greenish screen as well.
 
I had similar lockups in demanding games with one of my XFX GTX 260 Black Edition cards. Very frustrating (the other one never did this though). Sometimes the colors would be a pink kaleidoscope effect like that, while other times it'd be a solid color. No matter the color or pattern, it resulted in a complete lockup with looping audio, forcing me to restart the PC. Then I experienced the eqivalent (GSOD) with my 5870. Finally on a GTX 480 which has been rock solid (though hot); crossing my fingers that it never does any of this BS.
 
Check basics like cpu volts and ram volts, and also make sure NB is getting enough juice. Finally, that might be your power supply as well.

I was actually expecting to see a 5870 mentioned here.

My GTX260 would do the Blueish Pruple Screen playing Counterstrike Source on only 1 map. Didn't do it in any other game or map on CSS. really strange too.

Last night for the first time i got a green screen (vertical green stripes) using Radeon x1950pro 256MB (driver 8.530.0.0) and Wxp pro sp2 (5.1.2600), AMD 64x2 3800+, dx9c, MSI K9N neo mobo.

Rebooted and no more stripes.
