Video card going caput??

[Arkan]

Have the GeForce 6600GT and when i turned on my computer, i got a messed up looking screen that went black. Wasn't able to reboot the normal way (had to unplug the comp) and it booted fine. Then, put comp on "Standby" as i went to the store to pick something up. Upon my return as i went to "wake" the comp, the screen remained black and i got the "No signal" message on the monitor. Had to reboot using the unplugging method and have a normal screen now.

Could this be an indication that the video card is on it's way out?

Specs:
Intel 875PBZ mobo
Intel 2.6
GeForce 6600 GT (with drivers i had for awhile)
1GB Ram
Digiview monitor

Probably not. It could be many things that cause that.

Standby is not very stable. Don't use it. Use Hibernation or just turn your system off.
