Video has gone crazy

Ok ... well the problem started out when i was gaming and the screen randomly mixed all of the pixels up and then fully locked up no blue screen and restarted itself. Then it proceeded to after about an hour or so mix all the pixels up on my desktop. Then about another hour later the pixels jumbled up in the bios and then now i have an error that shows up saying "error loading dos" and halts. I cant figure out for the life of me whether or not its just the video card that went or its hard drive or motherboard issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a video card or a monitor issue. Try a diff monitor if u can. You could also try reinstalling your video card drivers with the newest version.
