That's got nothing to do with your graphics card. The system's stuffed.
Likely the RAM or hard disk. But something's dead (or just loose).

BTW, FWIW, I always find the output of plain lspci about as useful as a
chocolate teapot. What I want to know is the PCI ID, and it doesn't give
you that. "lspci -nn" does, though. I don't know if the X maintainers
prefer that output or if they're able to work with just plain lspci...
