If the problem = stil there then it is most likely a hardware issue, also try a windows repiar. Looks like an odd driver issue though...

I had a similar thing and it was ok after reseating the vid card. Altho it is also a sign the card may be too hot or on the way out. I dont spose you have an older card you can test with?

A simular problem happened to my mums computer, only the problem would fix upon rebooting. Then the day after that same problem would appear. I she replaced the video card and it worked fine after that.
