My sister's computer has started hiccuping. When she runs MSN, sometimes a hyper-link in a conversation will cause her resolution to go from 1280x1024 down to 640x480!

I am at a loss as to what could be causing this; my guess is malware of some kind ( I hope it ain't GPU failure!)

Any help appreciated.
