That was a good description of the problem. This usually occurs when you
have too many programs/processes running in the background and you are
running out of system resources. The programs/processes could be legitimate
(like running a bloated and invasive antivirus program from Norton or
McAfee) or they could be malware (viruses and spyware). It could also be
caused by a failing video card (hardware).

Unfortunately, you forgot to tell us anything about your computer -
make/model, processor speed, amount of RAM (memory). You also forgot to
tell us whether the problem has always been there or if it is something
new.

So, the first thing to do to narrow down the troubleshooting is to answer
The First and Second Questions of Troubleshooting:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

If you don't understand that and/or need more help, then please post back
with more details about your computer and at least the answer to The First
Question and what antivirus/security programs you have installed.

Perhaps the person who did this for you forgot to get the latest video
drivers from the video card mftr.'s website. You need to know what video
card you've got and then do that. You will uninstall the current drivers
and install the latest ones. If you want further help, you'll need to go
into Device Manager (or look at any documentation "the guy" gave you) and
post the exact make/model of the new video card.

In Device Manager, expand the Display Adapters category by clicking on the
cross next to the category. The make/model of the video card you have will
be shown.

Go to this link and download the top display driver bundle, the one for Rage
128/Rage 128 PRO. Save it somewhere you will find it, like on your Desktop.

Then install it. If you can't figure it out, ask a knowledgeable friend
(someone who is really knowledgeable and not just saying he is) or take the
machine to A DIFFERENT GUY. The "guy" you used installed a cr*p obsolete
video card and forgot to install the drivers. Use a competent local
professional computer repair shop instead. I don't suggest using a
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.

Now, this may not solve your issue but you most definitely should have
better device drivers installed. It it doesn't fix the problem, then you
need to look elsewhere for the cause. Based on your posts, I really think
you will be best off taking the machine to someone who knows what s/he is
doing. I say this not to offend you in any way, but simply to be practical.
