My screen is going crazy. This happens every now and then, but today it has happened four times. I think it software related, it happened when I click on something. Doesn't matter what, it's random. I can be in IE and hit file it happened or in something else. It happened in photoshop and I was able to do a print screen... I highly doubt this to be a cooling problem. Any input I can get will be great.

Specs.

GA-7NXP

2 x 512 Mushkin DDR 3200 Memory
ATI Radeon 9700 PRO
2 x WD Raptor Raid 0

510 PC Power and Cooling PS

I Would Try Changing Graphics Cards And Try A Diffrent Monitor. Are You Using Onboard Video Card Built Into Your Motherboard?
 
It's not the monitor... If I can find a vid card around I'll try it out. I'm not using on board video. I have a Radeon 9700 Pro card.
 
its not your graphics card or your monitor if your screenshot captured the problem, although i dont know what it is, hopefully it will help you a little to know that.
its definitaly a software problem, it kinda looks like a mosiak lol..
 
Yeah, I figured it was software. Obviously not the monitor with the screen shoot. :-)
This has never happened in a game, Only 2d apps. I normally can figure problems out easily . This is weird. I've done nothing new to the computer lately. It's XP Home SP2 and auto updates are on. I wonder if a new driver update was downloaded and is conflicting with something. I hasn't happend again and it wont bother me to much untill it starts doing it alot... Better it be software than my Vid card. I don't have the money to drop into this thing. Thanks for you replys.
 
try uninstalling the via agp driver and use the one that comes with your graphics drivers and vice versa.
i believe there is a fast writes issue with ati cards too, not sure of the exact details though
