Jonas this is not helpful in answering the OP's question.
To a layperson such as myself it does sound like a video card issue, but
I would hesitate to replace it without further investigation. If it has
two DVI ports have you tried using the other port? Or maybe try her
video card in your PM to see if it behaves the same for you? Remove the
card and safely clean the pins and the slot? Does it do the same thing
if you connect your display to her card?
Trying all possible options is a good way to narrow down possible causes.
If you do end up replacing it I have heard that the Radeon X800 XT Mac
edition is a better card than even my BTO card (below). Whether it is
still available is a different issue.
Sorry I can't be of more help than that.
