A little while back, something happened. (I HAVE NO IDEA :U) but after what happened, my computer suddenly started getting a whole lot of graphical errors. such as little static lines moving on the screen all over. and sometimes my browser (firefox) will turn black. and for some annoying reason that really evades me, my computer goes into sleep mode whenever it wants to. i ended up figuring how it was SUPPOSED to come out, by pressing the monitor button, when that happened it told me to press any key or button to wake it up, or press the monitor button to change my input or something. (its not my input) I SWEAR TO GOD I'VE PRESSED EVERY KEY ON THIS KEYBOARD, AND IT WENT BACK TO SLEEPING. so i had to restart a whole lot, using the unsafe way. long story short, my computer is being a piece of crap.

Any help? i want this to stop.

That means your Graphic cards are crashing.
Replace them.

What brand is your graphics card?

And it could also be caused because your GPU is starting to die.

Yes, GPU = Graphic Processing Unit.

Go here and pick your graphic card.

GPU is old and dieing.
You're probably going to have to buy a new one, as this isn't something you can just fix by reinstalling drivers.
