Many things can cause such problem, like bad memory, overheat, device
driver bugs, slow dying HDD, and using remarked CPU. My suggestion:
Update your motherboard BIOS first, then check your HD with surface
check. If things haven't improved, remove the device one by one to see
if it helps. However, make sure you don't overclock th system.



Also check the Video card  refresh rate and resolution.

I had the same problem with windows nt, and after replacing the mother board
, ram
and other devices, it turned out to be a high refresh rate.

                              Good luck
