[CUBE] Help. Dying Cube?

[J. Torrey]

Interesting new information:  I left my Cube off last night (8+ hours), 
and when I turned it on this morning, no less than five minutes after 
beginning to use the Finder these screen artifacts started showing and 
building up and then the computer locked up.  A first reboot locked the 
machine up, a second reboot is working so far (10+ minutes).

If the video card was going bad, would the machine really lock up?  
This whole thing is weird.  Does anyone have any guidance for how to 
troubleshoot this?
