Hi guys, I am using windows 7 pro X64 and am having a display issue where when my computer sits idle and I return after several hours I cannot see right click menu's start menu options, folder's and so fourth. At first I thought the system was frozen, I can see the task bar and desktop wallpaper but when I left or right click it seemed nothing was happening. Then I noticed a thin frame that would normally be the boarder for the context menu. For instance I can click the start button, see a small thin line where the start menu boarder would be outlined, click where I think the shutdown button would be and my computer goes to the shut down screen and shuts down.

After a reboot everything is fine until next time. Simply put my context menu is not displaying properly, although it IS working because if I click where a link or button is within the context menu the computer does perform that action.

Any suggestions? I searched Google and found people with similar issues but bogus solutions like uninstall WinZip or right click start button and check drag and drop for context menu's which is not the solution as this is a display issue not an ON or OFF issue.
