Hey People,

I have a computer that works fine 80% of the time but all of a sudden the screen goes crazy. It is like you click on the start screen, try to move the taskbar, open programs, all at once. Kind of like multiple flashes across the screen. I have been able to use keyboard commands to shut it down then it comes up OK (for awhile). It is not pop-ups from the Internet.

So far I have run Ad-Aware and replaced a dirty keyboard. Next I am going to run Memtest86, and replace the video driver. Any other ideas? Maybe the mouse driver?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Zych
 
Do you know that the video card is good? If you have another video card or maybe onboard video you might try that for a little while. If you still have problems then at least you've ruled out the video card.
 
This is a IBM system that has built on video. Not a very fast system but it does it's job. Well at least while it is working.
 
It looks like it may have been the video driver. I loaded a newer one and it has worked fine for a couple of hours now. I will know for sure on Monday. Thanks for the suggestions.
