I've had the card over a year and I've only noticed this recently, any ideas what it could be? I've updated the drivers and that hasn't helped. It's not overheating either - the nVidia control panel says its 50-60 degrees, well in the 'green' zone.

Try taking the videocard out of the PC, cleaning the connectors on the bottom, and putting it back in. My 6800 GT used to do that and reseating it fixed it.
