Help! not sure if virus or GPU is done

    ok so all of a sudden my computer froze solid and i had to hard reset.

    When I restarted my desktop is just as if windows recovery mode was running. just the horrible basic 800x600 display.

    I investigate and saw in device manager i'm getting error 43 - windows isn't recognizing my GPU. i've tried rolling back drivers, installing new drivers, combofix, super anti-spyware all no joy. It looks like my graphics card but i get this horrendous looking screen anytime I restart which looks like it might be virus related:

    any ideas or help would be appreciate!
    (e8400, 4GB ram, Nvida 9800gtx+, win 7)
