Is my GTX470 dying? ...cold boot/blue cast

[juno_first]

Ive been using a GTX 470 for a while now but since the recent cold snap its been behaving weird:

*Cold boot in a room where you can nearly see your own breath because its so cold & the first power-up yields no display on either monitor, but it reaches Windows as the boot sounds is heard.
After powering off between 1-4 times (depending how cold it is) it produces a display
Although, with it being warmer today, its booted up fine the first time

*Only 2 games so far have started to show a strange blue colour cast where it should be black (tried on 2 TV's), even though tried different drivers & 1 of these games didnt have a blue cast before
Games: Mafia2, Apache Air Assault

Am I going mad or do these screenshots appear to have a blue colour-cast?

I dont like taking stuff back overclockers unless its got an obvious fault as last time it cost me £10 because I had an external hdrive that clicks like mad & stops working if its put next to another identical hdrive or anything electrical but overclockers said they tested it all day without a fault

Does anyone have Mafia2 & could post a screenshot of the menu screen?

sorry - no idea how to take, never mind post, a screenshot.

But did start up Mafia 2 and although their is a litle purple it's nothing like yours and the chinese pagoda towers on the left (as you look at it) should be green as should the sign underneath the 11 in Mafia 11.

Hope the above helps - Am running a 470 myself

Ah thanks, I thought I was going colour blind lol.
The colours being wrong points towards drivers, but ive tried different drivers & I dont understand how a hardware fault could change the colours, huh..
Its easy to take a screenshot if you're interested, just download fraps.
