My mac mini is playing up. It worked fine until I woke it up from standby this evening and the monitor just gave me an "out of range" message. I've tried rebooting, and also Windows via bootcamp, but that's all I get. More specifically the display works until I log in to Os X or until windows gets to the user selection screen. When I boot the apple logo is also the wrong size.

All of this suggests a graphics problem. Will the hardware diagnosis tools be able to tell me if it's the graphics?

I'm currently doing a time machine restore, but if that doesn't work and if the diagnosis shows up a hardware fault I guess I'll have to take it in. The problem with that is that I replaced the Ram myself. It worked fine after that, except I'd killed the infra red board. Will apple make a fuss about me having opened it up?
 
The way I've understood is that damage you do isn't covered - so the infra red wouldn't be - but anything else is ok. So given that the graphics weren't damaged in the memory upgrade, that should be ok?
