As I said in a subsequent message, I don't know what the problem is,
since I've never seen this behavior before.

However if you don't understand the value of knowing that a particular
suggestion is highly unlikely to be correct, you are a complete novice
in troubleshooting.

If this isn't a video card issue, could it be malfunctioning RAM

Again, I doubt it very much. RAM either works or doesn't. It doesn't cause performance issues.


Because I never see this problem immediately after a boot,
could it be an overheating issue either with the proc, the RAM,
anything?

Overheating generally causes your system to shut down or restart. Again, performance issues are unlikely.
