Possible graphics card fault?

Hi guys.

I have an HIS ATI Radeon X1900GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI express graphics card. Recently I have noticed graphics anomilies in my games where the textures seem to be warping and flickering. Also sometimes when I close a game it would blue screen with the following error:

The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.

After I had this error a couple of times I downloaded updated drivers.

I've also had an instance where the monitor went into standby mode as if no signal was being recieved. The latest error I experienced was the game suddenly freezing and the monitor going into standby and the pc looping a section of music I was listening to. I couldn't get a response from the system so I rebooted.

I decided to run BurnInTest V5.3 pro and had it test the 2D and 3D graphics a couple of times and it kept returning a video memory corruption message for the 2D graphics.

Could this deffinately be a fault with the graphics card?
Are there any other programs I can get to test this?

I've experienced these problems on both Windows XP and Vista
