My original post didn't show...hmmm..anyway

I was watching some quicktime files on my 12inch 500mhz iBook and out of the blue the screen froze. A series of blue and yellow lines went in vertical and horizontal directions across the LCD. I could only power down by taking out the battery. Now when I start up the iBook the screen is fine until I get to the Grey Apple OS load screen. The OS will load for about 4-7 seconds before the screen will freeze up again and show these blue and yellow lines. The hard drive continues to spin after this occurs.

Is my video card fryed? Is my LCD broken? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
