Don't worry, glad you finally got it solved :-)

Sadly, these kind of errors (hardware malfunction) are very difficult to
debug... most of the time there is no trace nor logs the user can review
(in Windows you can get a BSOD and also freezes when such problem arises).
To be sure there is a problem with the VGA card you may want to plug it
into another computer and see how it goes. If system also freezes or you
get an unexpected behaviour, then just say "bye!" to the card and give it
a good retirement :-)
