Jim, I've been using the windows Beta spyware and it blew all those others out of the water. It found 30-40% more spyware then Adaware. I used that daily before hand. And during the problem time. So I doubt its spyware related. But a possibility. Jed, true but would that cause the computer to give out to the point where it cant find an O/S? The computer 2-3yrs. old and had been running fine. I know memory issues can cause a ton of headaches, I didnt know video card could too. I have a feeling its not a visual thing its further in then that. I'm also going to pull the hard drive and put it on another computer. If the problem occurs again that will narrow it down a bit. Thanks guys!! Keep the suggestions coming!!
