Try baking the video card. Pre-heat to 400, put in for ~3-4 minutes. Take out. See if it works.


But yeah, you need a new card if the above won't work.

Should she grease the pan first?

It really depends on the card. Now old PCI cards they bake up real well with just a bit of gates spicy bbq sauce on the contacts, whereas AGP cards you want to coat the pan with a bit of butter (or use buttery Pam), and the PCIE cards, they're just fine all by themselves, no lube, no bbq sauce.

(Re OP: But yeah, I foresee a new card in your future)

New card most certainly. The baking might help, just be sure to follow the instructions on how to do it rather than just tossing it in for a few minutes. If the card isn't old and overused; than the problem was most likely caused by heat. Turn your AC up or find a more open place for your computer, should add to the lifetime of your next card.

Looks good. Just don't forget about it in the oven.

It doesn't hurt to clean your pans after you use them bro. You have a enough residue on there to bake another cookie.
