I worked on a computer that had the same problem, and it was the luvsan virus. I had to use system recovery, which is in "my downloads" folder.

Have you installed any new drivers recently? I would check to see if there are any other display drivers available that you could try to start with.

Reseat your memory:
If you have multiple sticks of memory then move the location of the sticks. Slot 1 to Slot 2, Slot 2 to 1, ect.

Virus:
You can get a free copy of etrust, my favorite.

Trojans:
Spybot is my favorite.

Some people like AdAware

Updates to the OS:
Check and run any current updates.

Compability tester:
This is the upgrade tester for XP. It checks for hardware and software. I have never run it after installing xp. Don't know if it matters.

Roll back options:
This is the support site for XP. Explaines how to roll back from installs. Lots of other good info too.

If you find virus or trojans that you can't remove go to google and search their name. Some times you have to remove them by hand, using safe mode.

You can comment here on what you have done and the results and we will help as we can.
