Quite probably, swap it out into a known working rig?
Could be corrupted driver or even a broken monitor lead, but you would think that the lead wolud make the whole screen yeller, and the software driver a whole thing too. Is it shared memory g/c? if so the memory might be shagged

Considered the driver myself and told him to download it bout 20 mins ago, hes only on 512k, so it should keep him occupied for a while...
It's a nVidia GeForce FX5200...

And it sucks worse than a broken hoover.
Dirty screen wouldn't come up on a screenshot...and it disappears and reappears.
