Death of a Graphics Card?

Anyone seen this before? I've got a dual G5 Mac with an ATI X800 XT card and I figger that's dying.

    Overheating, maybe. The onboard fans get sticky after a few years and may need cleaning.

    Yeah, I've removed the card and blown the dust out. No real improvements yet.
