    my box running server 2003 has been giving me issues for months, random BSODs, reboots, and "hardware malfunction" errors. Everything pointed to the memory. I finally ran memtest86 a few days ago with no errors found.

    Yesterday, my computer crapped out, picture went kind of distorted and now if I can get it to boot up i get a gray screen with lines. I'm thinking video card.

    My only concern that makes me think its something bigger is that when my computer boots up, it usually makes that loud beep when it posts and now its not even doing that when I take the video card out. I've disconnected damn near everything and still nothing. Is my thinking wrong on this or is it possible that the MoBo died? I'm too broke to run out and start buying parts to swap out until i figure it out. Any ideas are welcome.

    graphics card has most likely failed. it won't make the loud beep because it isn't posting. the graphics card is essential for post. try replacing the card. Also check your system for virus's that can be causing the random reboots and other issues you have.
