The problem is very hard to explain so i took a screenshot of it. It happens at random, returns to normal after i restart explorer. Sometimes it freezes the pc and i have to reset it. :(

I think its because of the graphics card being damaged or faulty (it's a old one).

Graphics card : Nvidia geforce 9500 GT

only wanna know the reason behid it for future use. I am buying new graphics card in few days. :)

Most important is thatgraphics card doesn't get heated even when this happens.

ALL other components of computer are brand new few months old.(didnt have money then so using friend's old graphics card)

I read online that switching to older versions will stop it. Tried almost 10 different versions but it still happens.

Actually the card belongs to my friend he had similar problems but only when he was in game. This thing outside game started happening after some time me plugging it.

I was using this till i cud buy a new graphics card
My new graphics card is arriving in 2 days :)
What are your thoughs on ASUS 270X-DC2T
 

if the card had similar problems in another computer, then the card is faulty. The Asus is a good card from a good company. I have no personal experience with that particular card.
