I don't think "they" meant to send you to this .NET programming group.
The symptoms you describe are often associated with either:

1. An over heating video card, in which case you need to check to see the 
cooling solution supplied with the card is working properly, and make sure 
you have sufficient case airflow to move the hot air around the video card 
out of the case.

2. Possible driver issues. Have you downloaded and installed the latest 
appropriate drivers for your card? As you don't mention what version of 
Windows you are using or any specifications on your video card or other 
hardware, it's impossible to offer more detailed suggestions.

You should consider visiting the video card maker's web site to see if any 
user forums are offered where you can ask questions.

Then open your language in the TreeView on the left, scroll down to
"Windows", open and scroll down to your Windows version and select a
group for setup/hardware issues from that category.
