Can anyone tell me if this looks like graphic card trouble? Its been getting worse for months now, starting with screen freezes, occasional black avatar and now this.

Yes, it does.

Are you overclocking your card?

I havent changed anything. It just started doing this last week. Anything video related seems. If its hardware, I can get a new card. Had it for about 2 years now.
