video problems?

[AlphariusOmegon]

i have a system within my care, and i have found a problem i have not encountered before. as the pic shows, there is a problem visually. to top it off, when i tried to use the mouse and keyboard, neither one would respond. any ideas as to what happenned, or how to fix it?

OH, i forgot to let you know what the system has.
it is running XP64, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA 7200GS 128MB video, Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, and ASUS P5GPL-X board.

Looks like RAM issue with the graphics adapter...

replace the graphics card, if it happens to be build in then run MEMTEST on the mainmemory, and try a separate graphics card...

but would that cause the mouse and keyboard to stop working?

The Problem with the video card may be causing windows to just freeze. Which is why Mouse and Keyboard are unresponsive.

Does it happen in safe mode? If it doesn't happen in safe mode, then maybe the driver got corrupted, you'll need to uninstall it and maybe look for a more up to date one.

If it happens in safe mode too, then I'd try a different video card.
