Bizzare Behavior in XP Pro

[cspec]

Hi,

I have a serious problem involving my machine. Occasionally, the monitor starts turning "on and off", but like it's trying to change resolutions. This seems to have a mind of its own, but it usually happens when I open a new window. As it's doing this, the whole system either slows down or locks up. Additionally, when I play videos the video is covered with a bunch of colored lines and whenever I try to resize the player, the monitor starts hiccuping again. I have all the latest 4-in-1 and video card drivers. I just did a clean reinstall of windows, including formatting the hard drive. The monitor was doing this from the moment I finished the installation and started running at 1280x1024. There are a bunch of svchost processes running, including 2 under Network, if that signifies a problem.

Here are my system specs:

Windows XP Pro SP 2
Soyo K7V-Dragon PLUS!
Athlon 1900+
Geforce4 Ti4600

Hmm, I just uninstalled the display drivers and the strange behavior went away. I tried installing drivers from 2002 through now and they all did the same thing.

Never mind, I fixed it by flashing the video card bios.
