Is this a failure of a graphics card? It could be a failing video card or you might have set the card to a level, resolution or refresh rate, too high for the card. First try turning down the resolution and/or refresh rate on the card. If it continues, you should consider replacing the video card. Bob Wright The NoSpin Group http://freepctech.com .
