Or your GPU itself has semi-died, from possibly overheating.
Or you have some sort of weird system bug, if reinstalling graphics drivers does nothing, try a system restore.

Under the display adapters it should be showing some problem with your drivers (there should be a yellow ! mark on it). Even if there isn't, either update or remove the drivers and reinstall them.

I've had the same issue. GPU overheated, uninstall them by:

Then get the latest provided by your GPU manufacture NOT Windows Update.

To me this seems like the most likely option, but it could very well be the drivers that got corrupted.

I'd advice you to reinstall the drivers, and if that doesn't fix anything, I'm sure you can get a better graphics card for $20 or so on eBay. Any chance you know which videocard you're working with, anyways? Hope my estimation of $20 isn't too far off. :D
