Monitor issues with vista and nvidia drivers?

[Kakarot]

I have the dell 3007fp (30" lcd) and after a few minutes of running my
computer, the desktop gets all messed up (scaling etc?). If I double click
anything, the windows appears empty, i cant right click. I have installed
all the vista patches I know of, updated the bios, video drivers, chipset
etc... If I log off and back in, it works for a few seconds and then messes
up again.

In xp, I have NO video issues at all.... in vista, it takes seconds to screw
up. The desktop becomes unusable. I tried repairing vista, any
recommendations would be appreciated.

Sometimes it says explorer has failed and restarts, then it works for a few
minutes.... other times, it blames the nvidia driver.

Sounds like hardware failure to me. Two or three areas are suspect.
RAM and video hardware.
Processor
Rationale -- Advanced Video functionality tasks the above more heavily.
Recommendation
Run A good RAM test/exerciser program. Microsoft has one available via the
help and support options.

If it was hardware, then it would not work perfectly in xp... like is does.
It is only on vista and it was only after i went from a 24" to a 30" but thx
for the reply.
