try upgrading your video card drivers. you can do this by going to the video card manufacturers website and downloading driver updates.
Failing that, if you have another machine that operates absolutely fine with no display problems, take the video card out of the sick machine and place it in the well machine and vice versa. see my equations as below.
video card (bad machine) - AGP/PCI (depending on video ard type) to good machine
video card (good machine) - AGP/PCI bad machine
if you find that the graphics are down on the good machine then put it down to a bad Video card. If however the fault still lies within the bad machine then chances are the motherboard is bad. change either the card or motherboard depending on the problem but be sure to rule out these problems first.
