That could very well be a virus. nothing that looks too harmful, just annoying. Go to Add/Remove Programs and check if there is anything there that shouldnt be. However the last time i saw anything close to that was because the motherboard shat the bed. Which if this is becomeing consistant is quite possible. If you can find a computer that you can use and try it with your harddrive. If it works its not a virus, if it doesnt it is. and the only way to check its its the vid card or MB is to put the vid card in another computer. Depends on how much hassle you want to go through from here. If you dont want to deal with it, just get a new motherboard that will fit the case and the vid card. cuz from the sound of it. nothing is wrong with the vid card so in a nut shell

1) Check onboard vid card and turn off the other vid card
2) Check for the malicious virus but putting harddrive in another computer
3) If not (1) Check the vid card by putting the card in another compatible computer WITH your harddrive
4) All else fails, get new hardware, a new MB if the vid card is good, a new vid card if the mb is good
