This morning when I went to start up the computer, at first the monitor was in a constant power saving mode. After switching the cables (from Digital to analog) I got images from the POST and WinXP bootup (see images below), but it never got to XP, monitor just goes into power saving. I also switched monitors and the problem persisted, so I'm assuming the video card is broken and needs to be replaced?

It could be something else, is it an onboard vid card? if not, have you tried to switch from normal card to onboard? if you dont have onboard card i guess trying with a borrowed vid card could tell. Its probably it
I could get a more coherent article by gluing a Sharpie to a dog's cook and letting it hump the page.

Yeah that's your video card. Most likely the RAM has gone bad or the core is overheating.

Looks like you toasted your graphics card, I've experienced that twice already. Take out your graphics card and try it in another computer, or do it the other way round and try a different graphics card in your computer.

Passive cooling sounded like a good idea. Wish I had bought a friggin PCI-fan for 15$. . . oh well. New card with HD support incoming. Thanks for the help everyone. This is now the fifth post when searching about "odd colors on the screen" @ google.

@Zliver: LOL! ^^ I'll pass

I'd say - listen to R1CH, he's the PC wizard after all.
