Video card failure or something else?

Hello, just 3-4 weeks ago I bought and built a new computer. For a good amount of time, everything was running perfectly. Just now, however, my computer froze, and upon restarting, the video is all messed up. I'm seeing blue/red lines and dots everywhere, from the starting BIOS screen to Windows. I can't run Windows anymore and all I can really get to is the BIOS.
Here's the parts I'm using:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034 - Memory
550W Antec, Hitachi Deskstar 7k1000, Q6600 Intel Quad core.
I did no overclocking, my CPU was idle at 30C, everything in the BIOS was fail-safe default. I installed the latest Nvidia graphic drivers and directx a few weeks ago. Everything was running well until just now. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance.
