[gentoo-user] problem with nvidia card -- could it be hardware?

Hi.  I am using the nvidia GeForce GT 430 for years and suddenly within
the last few days, if I start gdm, it gives me an error, no screens
found and dumpss core and if I let it go it will keep dumping core and
filling up my root partition.  It works with my frame buffer, but no
longer with gdm or even startx.  So is this some kind of strange
hardware glitch?  I did downgrade the nvidia driver, but no joy.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
