Usually approximately once every couple boots or so, my screen with display itself "broken", like if someone threw a baseball through the middle of it so there are cracks from the middle reaching out to the edges. It's usually very triangular, in the sense that all the little pieces and such are triangles.

Vista will shut down the driver? and then the screen will go black, and then it will reload a normal screen again. It says that it's my graphics card (NVidia 7900 GT-X) is the problem. Is this correct? Can I just upgrade my card and hope that everything is hunky dory?

Oh and I'd say around 40-50% I'll have to restart when it does this, because Vista won't be able to reload the drivers? correctly.
