    i have read that it is an update from windows that causes the problem. do you know which update it is and will removing the update fix the problem.

    You should see if there are newer drivers for your video card. Also, heat can be a problem, make sure the fan (if the card has one) is turning, and clean out any dust in the heatsink.

    If that does not help, can you post the specs of your computer? Type of GPU, operating system, motherboard...

    Oh yeah, Welcome to MajorGeeks! ;)
