So is my graphics card knackered?
think it probably is but just to confirm..
when I try and load a video my screen goes blank on/off and the CPU hits 100% usage. If I leave the video running the blank screens become more occurent until the PC hangs/reboots.
pretty similar to this guy really
but my PC doesn’t need a better PSU and it has used this one for a good couple of years or so.
post specs
does it happen to any video file? an HD vid can stress out cpus
have you tried different media players?
uninstall/update drivers?
any other vid card you can try out?

appears to happen with all video files, youtube etc work fine though
tried several players
might have a go at stripping codecs, drivers and directx and starting again
no other card to try out

your rig should play most vids but would work its ass off with HD content.
do try updating the drivers and shit. use drivercleaner if you can.
also check your temps (cpu/vid card). the hang reboot can also be caused by overheating.
That doesn’t mean it’s not dying.
True, any suggestions on methods of creating a load elsewhere on the PC? (Yea HD content never did work too well) I can’t find a sensor on the GFX card but the CPU temp is fine even throughout the spikes. Even loading a shitty FLV locally kills it.
