Graphics Card problem or does the root cause lie elsewhere?

PC has been running rather well, until a week ago when I experienced a lock up in CS Source. I have also had a couple of freezes with ni display on the screen, neccessitating a hard reset. The PC now seems to, randomly, "forget" the native set resolution when changing users - I have updated my bios and graphics driver, to no avail. Does this sound like a graphics card problem? I have had the card for around 16 months, fortunately it is a BFG so has a good warranty.

Any ideas or views much appreciated

you'll be disappointed to know that I have no overclock.... I have a coolermaster 631 mystique case, which despite looking good, isn't particularly good at ooling. that said, tower is pretty clean and the graphics card runs at rougly 75 c whilst gaming
