Re: Need Help With Display Problems...

Hello Dave,

In my opinion, this issue does not seem to be related to Windows XP. It
should be caused by the hardware. You may change a video card as a test.

| My computer has been turned-off as recently as a week ago. So, it's not
| like I haven't had if off in a long time. But I'll take your advice and
| clean-out the cpu and try to re-seat everything...
|
| Is there any chance that my Windows XP could be causing any of these
| problems? Most of the weird display problems show-up on my desktop.
| Although, in any program, including Windows Explorer or Outlook Express
the
| screen will occasionally go black; then I just move the mouse or enter a
| key and it goes back on. Weird, huh??? Should I try to re-install XP?
| Or is this not likely the cause? Thanks again.
