I believe your GPU may have failed, Hunter had the same problem awhile back I believe.

As TF said, most likely the GPU is biting the dust

this is what I had when my 2 1/2 year old 8800GT bit it

+1 to the GPU.

I had a problem a while back similar to that. Google search said the same. Replaced the card, no problems since.

Looks like a dead/dying graphics card to me.
