Could be anything.
However, I'd suggest switching off all Aero Glass type desktop effects and see if that fixes the problem.

I think you could also right click your PR icon, go to 'Compatability" then click the box for Disable Themes AND/OR Disable Desktop Composition.

You are eating up all your shared RAM and you would do well in using a desktop theme that looks like a basic XP theme. You could also D/L a program like TweakVista and disable as many visual options as possible. All in an effort to minimize your Windows Explorer's Video RAM requirements.

DOwnload the WIndows Vista TweakGuide and go look through it on ways to minimize usage of shared Video RAM.

NOTE: This may or may not be your problem.


OPTION 2:
ON boot up, go to BIOS and make sure you have allocated maximize amount of RAM to the GPU.
