Graphics Problem

Just wondering if these screen shots mean that my graphics card is over heating or is the card bad? When this happen the temp for the card was around 39-40*C. The card is not overclocked and all the settings are default. Should I turn up the graphics card fan up? The only programs that were running was FSX, Active Sky Evolution, NVIDIA Inspector, and Linda. Thanks for the tips.

I think my focus would be on the video card drivers themselves if the symptoms were not always like this.
 
Temp sounds OK to me. Check your video card for dust (clean carefully). Check for driver updates and update for NVIDIA inspector.
Does this happens all the time, or only occasionally? If your video card is broken, I think you will see lots of vertical lines too
 
NVIDIA Drivers 314.22

Anyone else having a hard time installing these drivers? Every time I installed the drivers and reboot the startup repair comes up and tries to fix the problem. I've tried uninstalling the older drivers through windows it does not work. I've tried using drive sweeper and that works but after I install the newer drivers the startup repair comes up again. I've disabled my anti-virus and that doesn't make any difference. I also tried booting into safe mode to install the new drivers but that does not work.
