I booted up this moring and I noticed all these wierd blocks of colors in some small areas, never the same spot. And now i'm on my desktop and it keeps hanging up, the screen goes black then it comes back on.

Your videocard is most likely overheating. Check the fan.

There was a ribbon cable next to my fan, thanks!

glad to help man. Sorry it took so long for someone to respond. It makes me wonder the IQ of some of these people.

We are sorry that we don't continually monitor the forums to answer all hardware related questions in a timely manner. If you desire to pay me 40 dollars an hour I would be more than happy to monitor the forums continuously to answer troubleshooting questions.

Last time I checked not posting a response != IQ and insulting a whole forum is not a great way to engender help in the future.
