Default Monitor Scrambles


I am haveing trouble with my monitor. Sometimes it will scramble and i will
need to do a hard boot and restart the computer to make it all come back to
normal again.. sometimes it will happen on start up then maybe 30 mins after
start up, or over night i wake up and its scrambled. Its a gateway computer
with windows vista home premium, AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4000+,
32-bit operating system, 896 MB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE , 19 in.
Widescreen. I have updated all drivers i went to the NVIDIA website and no
new drivers are available. Could this be my monitor or something wrong with
the motherboard? Or the Fans? Has anyone had this problem?

Check the fan on the graphics card and if it's dusty then clean it up with
compressed air.
