Default Graphics card issue?

So been playing quite a bit of PC games lately... everyone once in a while playing a game my monitor starts shimmering, and continues to do so even after the games kills itself or I kill it with task manager. Restart my computer and it's back to normal.

Is this my GFX card overheating? Does it mean I need to replace it?

Additional info: screenshot captures sparklies... screenshot here:

Sparkles go away as soon as I get to the "Logging Off" screen in Windows.

Thanks to anyone who can help me diagnose this.
