is my video card dying :(

I have a x800 pro vivo flashed to an xt pe. I have been noticing some artifacts in games like Doom and Farcry lately. Thinking that maybe the clock speeds are set too high, I ran ATITool to find max core and mem. Surprisingly the clock went all the way down to 15 Mhz before my display became garbled and I had to reset to get the default speeds again. When I opened the log file, it said at every speed it tested xxx pixels did not match. SO whats your opinion guys, time to say goodbye to this nice card, is it?? if it is indeed dying it will be sad because I cant afford another $300 card anytime soon and will have to settle for one of those under $100 cards....boohooo

if possible, flash it back to the original BIOS and see if you still get the artifacts. if you still do, and the card is under waranty still, see if you can get away w/an RMA of the gfx card
