Not to sound like a wanker but if you turn off the computer and restart in a few minutes, often times the PC will reset itself.

Resolution issue... try changing your computer's resolution and see if it changes anything. Beyond that, I don't have much of an idea.

Does this only happen when you run a certain game/program? Or at random times?

It sounds like the display settings are off. Start the computer again and hit F8 before the Windows screen comes up. Choose to start the machine in VGA mode. This will allow you to at least get into the computer and reset the settings properly even though the graphics will suck and the icons will be huge.

Keep pressing it every half-second or so while the PC boots up.

Then Enable VGA mode and press Enter twice.

When you reboot it and it first starts up, do you see any post messages, any text on the screen?

Somewhere on the main window, right click the mouse. Go down to properties and that will bring up the display screen
