Happy New Year
try one thing: restart and press F8 and then choose the option with "vga mode enabled"
and stay on the desktop doing whatever you want but stay for like 20 minutes or so.
if nothing changes from the start until 20 minutes (it won't be as clear as normal
mode) but i wana see if changes occure. so if nothing happens then we will examine
the situation further. if changes happenes then its the video card.
God Bless
