VxD and VCACHE errrors

Hi all.
I have a home built ystem with an nvidia GE Force 2 Mx video card with 32MB
of memory. I am running win98SE, with 256MB memory, PIII
The system has been running for about a year or so, with no problems, but
now, I get blue screens, usually after watching movie clips or playing games
(like myst3 and black and white). Sometimes the game will play fine, but
then when I want to reboot the computer, it will blue screen, and only
manually resetting will work.
The errors on the screen are sometimes about "0D caused an error at 000000
(all zero memory address).
Other times, the error will reference Vxd Vcache(01).
Vcahche signals that this could be a video card problem. I know that system
memory that is bad can cause erros like this, but since these things happen
only after doing something video intensive, I am thinking that the memory on
the video card might be bad, and the system memory is ok.
Does anyone know of a way to test the video card directly?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

isn't there a 'card test' from within the control panel?
