Hey, yesterday, i was gonna play a game, and it worked for the first few seconds after entering the game. After that, the screen kinda ... Ehh, hard to explain, it got some lighter spots all over the screen, it completely froze the computer. I had to restart it, i did, but when it reebooted it looked something like this:
¿ ╬ ¿.
pretty much down the first site, the next site was looking abit more readable though, not by much.
|||P¿|||
Something like that.
Lately i have been getting a blackout of the screen, then
5 seconds after, it would come back, saying "The video card stopped working, but is now working"
Any help? oh, might be abit of both, i'm using AVG free antivirus, which i discovered is really bad, and i couldn't start it, even in safe mod.
Don't have any pictures to post, since the only ones i was able to take, is on a cellphone, which is really bad quality ... But ye, theres stripes all over the screen.

Abit like this, not that sloppy though. Recently, i was searching for some upgrades to my video card, just using the device manager. Two days after i installed the update, this happens. Is that a possibillity aswell?
Sorry for all of my questions, but i really am new to computer, since it's always been my dads friend, or my own friend, helping me when i had problems.
