Hey,
I just joined the forum, and I'm in need of some help. I got this computer from my brother a couple weeks ago, and I tried starting it up. Everything started, but every now and then when I'd open a program or something, the screen would change to some strange image. This image changes from time to time, it could be just green with a square in the middle, a checkerboard pattern or just abstract lines. It's really weird. Anyways it would flash to that and the only way to get out of it is to restart. Sometimes it goes straight to this at the Windows XP Welcome screen. Usually though it's when I'm in a game and it tries to load new graphics. I tried reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling XP but no improvement. I've tried updating my video card with the latest drivers and it hasn't helped a bit. These are my specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
1 GB RAM
GeForce 5700 LE 256 MB
Asus K8V-SE Deluxe motherboard
Here are some errors I found in the event viewer (not sure if they come into play here):
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 bf06c020, parameter3 f6eb7b3c, parameter4 00000000.

Oh and none of those errors above took place at the same time a crash did, so I'm not sure if they are related. I really hope someone can help me solve this. Any suggestions are welcome.
What should I do?
Thanks
