Hey, This could be happeing because of the video card. Do you have Video card installed in your system. If the answer is yes the look for the driver update and install the latest driver of the same. Some time the older driver may show less compatibility with the OS at that you need to update the driver. Also check for the virus on your system. And reinstall the graphic driver. Thats it!!!!!!!!!
