Monitor suddenly flickering/has moving line? vid card prob?

OK, my setup was fine yesterday, nothing weird but this morning I
turned on my computer and my monitor is flickering.
I figured something wonky happened and my refresh rate somehow
changed, but it didn't. so, whether I set the rate at 60, 70, 72, or
75hz I get flicker or horizontal bands moving slowly up the screen.
does it sound like my video card is failing or having a problem.
this is what I have:

p4 2.8
eVGA GeForce 6600GT 128MB (AGP)
latest nvidia drivers (I was using a few iterations ago but updated to
see if it was a driver issue, and it's not)
winxp pro sp2 with latest updates
directX 9.0c

monitor:
Eizo L671(18.1 inch analog LCD)

It's weird, I've tried rebooting and it's still got that moving line
(or flicker and line at lower refresh rates) so maybe I'll see if I
can borrow another video card and test it, but my current card is only
3 months old. Can they go bad that quickly?

thanks ahead for any suggestions

It would be easier to swap out the monitor first or just reseat your video
card and see what happens. If that doesn't change anything then swap the
video card.
