    Hey guys,

    I have an issue that just appeared a few days ago. I've tried formatting my computer and doing a clean install to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work.


    I've been noticing lately that after a few hours (maybe 2-3?) of use, my computer starts acting up. I get this little mirage effect where everything on my monitor seems "twisted." I get the Windows start orb along with whatever tabs I have at the bottom appearing at the top of my screen. When I try to click on them at the top, nothing comes up. then immediately my whole screen becomes a whole jumble/mix around of everything that was originally there. Nothing is really understandable, I end up having to logout and log back in just to resolve the problem.

    I'm wondering whether I may have created this problem when I had to on two occasions force my computer to turn off when I ejected the battery from its compartment on two occasions, forcing my computer to just turn off.
