    Hi,

    Ive recently been having problems with my display driver (i think), basically the screen flickers in small areas alot and after a while portions of the whole screen blur, change colour and go out of focus. the following link is an example of what happens on a small scale to individual windows.

    I have no idea what is going on, sometimes it gets bad enough that i have to restart my pc, but usually within 15-20 minutes from rebooting it starts again, can anyone help me out, my graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600.

    Thanks alot

    jermain

    That sounds like a hardware problem, not a driver problem.

    Your link to the image is broken because you used the "f" word in the file name. For obvious reasons the "f" word is censored here.

    Hi Jermain,
    Does your computer have onboard Video? if so disconnect all power, press the power switch to disapate all residual power, open case & remove the Nvidia card then power up the computer using the onboard video to eliminate the Nvidia card as a problem, if the problem continues then I would have someone take a look at your m/board, if it is the Nvidia card I suggest upgrading the drivers from the Nvidia site, if the problem still continues, then replace the video card!
    Now if you don't have onboard video, follow the same steps as above and try a different card to see what happens?
    hope this helps
    Jac
