I have:

Core 2 Duo
Asus P5 Mobo
2 x 2GB G.Skill RAM
XFX GTX 285 PCI-E
Creative SB Fatal1ty Platinum
Corsair TX750 PSU

Recently I've been seeing graphical anomalies, namely green dots and sometimes waves of green dots when I play 3D games (I can see a few green dots even on the desktop).

The graphics card was just put in 2-3 weeks ago, the RAM a few months before that, and so was the power supply.

I encountered this problem before when I ran the 8800 GTS but I assumed it was due to overheating because it was running into 50's during gameplay. I have improved cooling since and the anomalies went away until now. As I am typing this, Asus probe sees:

Vcore 1.14V
+3.3 3.26V
+5 5.07V
+12 12.09V
CPU 34*C
MB 33*C

I checked it again shortly after running a game and it was in the 40's.

And to top off the problems, it seems my sound stopped working. There are no sounds coming out of the speakers, but when I plug in the headphones into the front panel, I can hear fine.

Does this mean my mobo is gone? Is there anything else I should try before resorting to changing the mobo?
