Graphics card problem??

Does this sound like a gfx card issue:

When my PC is booting up (Win XP logo) there is nothing but pixelations all over the screen. All different colours flashing on and off - infact you can barely see the WinXp logo!!

When it gets to the desktop though its fine.

Any ideas??

Not tried a different monitor.

It has only been happening in the last few months. The previous three years on the same monitor have been fine.
 
As stupid as it sounds it was an Alienware machine bought 3/4 years ago so I am not too sure. Its an Intel one!

Another strange issue is that since this trouble I have had to reinstall 3 year old drivers for my 9800 Pro as with any newer drivers the screen cannot do more than 640x480 and is all pixelated.
