(long and important) video card fault??

Hi, please apologize my poor english but I didn't find much help in the
italian newsgorup.
My system (mobo Asus a7v8x, amd 2400+, 512 mb ram, Geforce 4 mmx) worked
perfectly in the last two years... then, the last week, my monitor (a
1-year-old Samsung Syncmaster) went into "sleep mode" while I was working
(I mean that the image disappeared suddenly), but the pc continued working;
I attached a second working monitor and again it became black after 20
mins. I wasn't able to resume them even connecting them to other machines;
they seem to be in a permanent "stanby mode", so they must have been
damaged.
I tried with a third monitor, and it seems to work, but occasionally I
experience one of these problems:
- the image disappears again and then re-appears in few seconds;
- the image disappears and doesn't come back (but the pc continues
working); if I reset, I hear 3 beeps since the machine doesn't recognize my
video card, so I have to remove it form the AGP slot and then plug it in
again;
- the machine (mouse and keyboard) stops responding and the image freezes,
(once happened while I was in BIOS) !!!!
I didn't any overvolting or overclocking (i'm not a gamer); voltages and
temperatures seems to be ok according to Asus Probe; RAM is ok according to
Memtest; refresh rates and resolution are set to standard values.
It seems a video card fault but I wonder if a bad video card can result in
these symptoms (and could really damage my monitors). Can it be a mobo/agp
slot problem?
It is a random problem too, so it's difficult to identify it.
I'm really stuck since it's the first time I experience something similar,
and I can't test other video cards.
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!
M.
