Is my video card bad?

by tophubufu . Updated 15 years, 3 months ago

I have an HP Slimline, and it worked great for a while but recently the monitor has been shutting off and I get a loud buzzing sound out of my surround sound speakers when it does this, then I started having trouble with booting up, I reinstalled windows 7 and that seemed to fix the booting issues, but now my monitor when it boots up will freeze on my desktop. The picture in areas is fine, but in corners of the screen there are flashes like lighting bolts that continue to flash and nothing happens until I shut off the computer and reboot. Is this my video card? I

I have my monitor connected to my xbox 360 and it works fine. I have been told that my video card has over heated and probably over time burned out, is that the problem?

My computer also has the TV tuner card which is very close to the video card, so close that the fan on the video card is almost touching the tv tuner card. that is what has caused over heating.
