[Cube] Fading Display or burned out video card

[Seth Maynard]

Yeah I am going to have to say that is the graphics card craping out.  
The screen with the multi-lingual screen is a kernel panic. This could  
be a variety of problems, good idea on thinking about the graphics  
card. Because it is displaying funny colors and patterns that is most  
likely what it is. Let me know how it works out!
