At work, we use an older version of OS X server and it's recently begun displaying a multi-colored image with only the cursor visible (the cursor moves, but isn't able to select anything). We're thinking the video card might be fried, but if that was the case, the cursor itself probably wouldn't be visible anymore...

Anyone ever experienced this sort of thing? It's basically a mostly-yellow rainbow background with a thin (1/16") strip of black/white noise at the top of the monitor and a visible cursor which moves, but doesn't do anything else. Is this something a simple restart should fix, or does this signal hardware failure?

Thanks!
