Nice app...! I would suspect the graphics card in your case. Especially if the symptoms have become worse with time, it could signify hardware degradation. Also: did you try re-seating the system memory (since onboard gfx probably uses "shared memory" with your DRAM)? I've also seen problems due to bad contact, although with built-in gfx it's very unlikely. I recommend to get a cheap add-on gfx card. Personally I love Nvidia: I just got a 9500GT with a heatsink (no fan = quieter for movies) for about €50 when I was in Taiwan. I think it was one of the many varieties Leadtek makes (some with fan, some without). Schweet! And it blows away the onboard ATI crap (which wouldn't work with Linux). .-= Dave´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DavesPhotoTravelblogue/~3/9Klpy6mJ23I/" rel="nofollow">Celebrity Upskirt: Statue of Liberty</a> =-.

I would actually never have had a blog if I had not Switched to Linux.
