Some windows seem to be leaving behind a few pixels, and after a little while of using the computer, while (for example) opening folders within explorer, after each double click the computer seems to freeze, then in about 10 seconds the screen goes black, and then the folder contents show. Rinse and Repeat. So it appears to me to be a refresh issue.

The graphics card is about a month old, and the monitor is about 4 or 5 years old.

I have not yet hooked the pc up to another monitor to test it that way, but intend to do so as soon as i get home, just throwing up this post to see if anyone has any insight as to what is going on.
