Default Videocard trouble

Hi everybody!
I probably have a trouble with my videocard (I've got GeForce MX-440). It shows black stripes from time to time, especially when I try to play games ("Heroes" are a complete disaster!). Could anybody give me advice?

I can only recommend doing the standard thing, reinstall the lastest video drivers for your card.

If that doesn't work, maybe setting the hardware acceleration to a lower value will do it.

Have you got the latest version of Direct X on your computer (it should be 9.0c at least) and does your card pass all the tests that can be run on it? Click on START->RUN and type dxdiag into the box and click on OK. When the Direct X Diagnostic Tool window appears click on the Sytem tab and look down near the bottom to see what version your Direct X is. Then click on the Display tab and click on the Test DirectDraw and Test Direct3D buttons and run the tests.
