Sometimes when I'm on my computer. The screen will show black/white striped lines over the whole screen. I can still hear sound so I'm assuming my computer is running properly. I usually just press the restart button and everything is fine after that. This has occured maybe twice over the last week and a half. I usually leave my computer on all day and is probably off for only like 6 hrs of the day.

Does this mean its the video card that has a problem? It probably is safe to just keep using until it permanently malfunctions?

Thanks
 
You could try the monitor on a different computer to see if it happens again with different video input.
 
another thing that i noticed was that my mouse still shows over the black and white stripes...so most likely a video card problem?

your inputs would be great..thanks
 
another thing i noticed...it only appears when i come out of full screen from watching a video...

any help would be great? i'm guessing its not the monitor

so either video card or mobo? what do u guys think?


 
It sounds like what Tick mentioned; the card is gettibg hot. Chances are good that the fan on your VC died and needs replacing. Same thing just happened to me and that's what it was.
