Yesterday the **** locked up, and after a few secs the whole screen got corrupted, it looked very strange, I couldn't even see or read anything anymore, it was just stripes and everything.

I'll try to go for the newer drivers then.

Bah... reminds me why I don't like pc gaming...

EDIT:
Got some new sound drivers for the SBLive!, now I can move around with the mouse for 2 seconds and after that my monitor switches off. Anyone familiar with symptoms like that?
