    Weird desktop/video glitch

    Wondering if anyone has any experience of this graphical glitch.

    When I to watch any kind of file after about 10min the screen shift down around 1/3 of the screen, so I have too then change the resolution to anything then click cancel so it sort's itself out. Other wise i get the first 1/3 of the screen being a random glitch colour, then the next 2/3 being the video, and then obviously missing the other 1/3 of that.

    I initially though it was a bad format so I reformatted with a different NVIDIA graphics driver but the problem was still there.

    I have installed/uninstalled FFDShow/Real Alt, MPC etc and have tried all the combination and have d/l and installed previous version of them all.

    Still the glitch happends!

    Any ideas? I'm not sure would a glitch like this be a dodgy gfx card?

    Is the card getting hot when this happens?

    No the card is very cool at around 40oC.

    Well I tried modded drivers, uninstalling the Dell screen drivers and nothing.
    I never got the glitch while using VLC player so there must be something making it happen.


    Anyhow I found a drive image from a couple f months ago and as I type there have been video glitches in over a hour of media usage.


    Very weird.
