VGA Trouble - Need Help

[hul2000]

My VGA is a Nvidia Ge-Force FX 5200 128 MB.
My PC is a P4 2.2GHz, 768 MB Ram, GigaByte Mother Board and 40GB HDD.

I have NFS Most Wanted installed.
It was working fine until yesterday. When I start the game the graphics looked like this

I thought it was a problem in the game.
But when I tested the "Direct 3D Test" from "Dxdiag", the Cube with DirectX logo looked like it has been pixelized.
All the other functions of the computer ware normal. I even watched a movie (the output mode of the player was set to DirectX)

When I rebooted the computer to see if the problem resolved, the Monitor turns off and I get the "no signal" message from the monitor.
So I opened the CPU and removed the VGA and put it back. Then the Computer worked fine.

My problem is was this caused by a loose connection, a trouble with the VGA or a software trouble?

My other problem is, Is it safe to run the computer at this state?

a driver issue can cause it. but if it was working until yesterday, then maybe something else is the problem. maybe the vga card is dying? :-S

It's only 5 months since I bought it. So, could it be a problem with my mother board?
