    Someone Please Help - PC Going Green

    Hi, I hope someone can advise on what the problem is. I have noticed on some occassions that parts of the screen go 'Green' I have attached a thumbnail of the screen shot. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, it also shows on the actual IE page as well.
    Thanks in advance.

    Looks as a problem with your drivers for the graphic card. Tried to reinstall them?

        You need to find out the make and model of your video card.

              Sounds like you have on board graphics and not an installed card.

                Ok, what you could do is to let us know how and why, please do the followings as i have posted. Please go to Start and go to Run type in "dxdiag" without quotes and when it runs the directX diagnostic Tool you see a four buttons on the bottom click the one that says "save all informations" what this will do will gather all the hardware and driver information you have on your computer and automatically writes it in the .txt file. And attached the file up on here and we will look at it to really see whats the problem and we may help you.

                    Current Mode: 800 x 600 (32 bit) (75Hz)
                    try lowering to 16 bit and 60Hz refresh rate

                    monitor may be going out

                    control panel/display/settings
                    and then the advanced tab/monitor

                    try a newer monitor on that computer?
