Unusual Display Problem

[dpchristie]

In the past couple of weeks, I have noticed an intermittant problem with
Windows where I get either purple or green little boxes all over the screen.
It doenst happen all the time, but there are things that will make it happen.
One, using the Windows image preview program causes it. If in an Office
app and you select or copy text it will happen. But it will also happen on
just a normal empty desktop. I don't think it is the monitor because it is
intermittant and I can do things to make it worse... Here is my system

PIV 3.2Ghz Proc
2GB Ram
Asus X700 Radeon Series card with 256MB of RAM

Windows Index is 4.3...
I have a screen shot of this occurance, but there doesnt seem to be any way
to post it here.

I would suspect the graphics driver first and then a defective graphics
card. If you have the hardware, swap monitors or swap graphics cards to see
for sure.
