Can you post a screenshot of this happening? (To do that, hit "Print Screen" key on your keyboard, open up MS Paint, and paste it in, then save as .jpg and attach it to your reply). It could be your image handler (the progam that opens pictures on your computer, or hardware... seeing it happening will likely help us determine which it is).
If I do a print-screen, the strange patterns do not appear in the captured image. So I have taken a picture of my screen with the patterns visible and will attempt to insert it in this posting.
I forgot to mention that I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers, and if you look at the image I inserted previously, you can see the patterns. If I switch to a different image, and then back to this same image, the patterns will be in a different spot, or may not even be there at all. Sometimes, I see the patterns flickering and I also see smaller version of the patterns around objects that change their appearance when you hover over them.

Hey Allen,
Have you tried running Memtest86 on the machine (create a bootdisk, and test you RAM outside of Windows)? You may have a faulty stick of RAM.

Hi Allen,
Do you have another monitor you can try? Another idea would be to go to the NVidia site and get the current driver and see if things improve.

Hello,
To answer the previous questions:
I do not have another monitor that I can try.

Allen,
If the random pattern does not print when you do a print screen, it is highly likely that you have a hardware problem with your graphics card.
Most likely, you will need to replace your graphics card.
