is it dead?

ok i think my graphics card has buggered up, while playing a game the graphics went all scrambled, i get weird lines in places, i can surf and watch videos etc but any game just wont run now, i did new drivers and directx, the fan on it spins ok while on.

not sure what to do, device manager says its working ok, but im sure it isnt.

it's a rad9800 and is knocking on 2 or 3 years now,

thanks for the reply, the pc is my friends (i built it a few years back) so not had a chance to look at it, but yeah sounds bad, any key things i can check, not built a pc since then 3 years ago and don't know much about graphics cards to be honest

but by and large, sounds like a gonna? is that normal signs?
