Well, it's very possible. I recently had a Geforce 7600 that I was having trouble with. Everything 2D worked just fine, but my 3D messed up especially the longer I ran it. It turned out that it was something blown on my video card.

Your problem is not exactly like mine, but my problem shows that it is possible for a video card/chip to be blown and for some things to still work properly. From the things you are saying, if it worked fine at one time, and now it just doesn't work, that is a big possibility. That's pretty tough luck since it is a laptop.
