Yikes! Looks like your Video card has taken one too many LSD trips. :-)See my post in this thread: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchThe original poster there was having problems with an ATI card, but the cleaning techniques might be useful in resolving your problem.Just to be safe you might try the 40.72WHQL drivers for your OS. See how they treat you in bringing your system stable after cleaning.http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10Good luck,Greg
