Possible graphics card error.

After about 10 minutes after turning on my computer, the screen freezes and small graphics glitches appear all over it, though the screen can still be seen behind the glitches. About 5 seconds after this happens, the computer goes into a BSOD which also has small visual glitches on it. My computer reboots about 5 seconds after the BSOD first appears and all of the screens, the motherboard logo screen and stuff all have glitches on and when the computer starts loading windows it goes into a BSOD again. I have to leave the computer for 20 minutes+ before I can turn it on again for 10 minutes. I have currently disabled my graphics card but I am still going through the graphics card output and it is working fine, however I can not play games and the system theme is refusing to be anything apart from Vista Basic. What is going on?

Sounds to me like an overheating GPU, how old is the PC, when was the last time the dust was blown out the inside, and is it positioned to allow a clean flow of cool air to all the vents?
