Default Video card woes?

Okay heres the deal.

Last night I downloaded and installed Dragon Age Origins.

Every thing went fine with only one interruption. The game installed fine and direct x 10 was installed as well.

Everything seemed fine I sat through the opening trailer and set out to create a charecter. I was messing around changing hair color and stuff when the game locked up with some green rectangles scattered about on the screen.

No biggy I figure reboot and start again....

Now there are green rectangles all over the screen(s) arranged in a zig zag pattern.

Before you ask yes latest drivers.

The green lines and rectangles appear even as POST and bios load

I tried a system restore, tried un-installing Dragon Age, tried re-seating and cleaning the video card. No change, lots of green rectangles covering the screen.

Something like this...

Is it possible that the game blew up my video card ?
