if it's a failing graphx card, would it still show the asus boot screen with the head, and then it shows post and the windows xp boot screen. those all show up fine on the screen

Would it show any of those if it was a failing monitor?
Sounds to me as if it is ok until it loads XP drivers, and drivers are for the graphics card not the monitor.

Try what has been suggested 3 or 4 tijmes already - cut out your OC and see what happens, at the very least for your graphics card.

I got an old 9600 pro on the shelf here which died coz of a bad bios flash, the card only fails when the drivers are loaded in windows, everything else like the boot screen works fine.

The updated bios had the wrong speeds , ram speed was alot higher then it should have been.
Flashing the original bios file back didnt work anymore , prolly the ram failed.

So yes it can be your video card but it could be alot of things.

theres a new virus that is causing system crashing slow downs and general PC issues like the one your experiencing. Maybe that is causing it
