has anyone experianced this before ?

My computer moniter keeps flashing on and off after about 30 minutes of being on line. The only way to stop it is by shutting the comp down completely and leaving it alone for an hour or so. I really dont know if its a virus or whatever is affecting it. I have checked the moniter and that appears to be ok.

I would be really gratefull if someone got back with any thoughts/solutions

yea deffo sounds like a graphics card problem. try a diff one if possible and you could also try putting it in another slot. it may also be over heating. you just need to fiddle around
