Get the lastest drivers from your video card maker's web site. Also,
you may require the chipset drivers for your motherboard.

Do not rely on any drivers that show up in Windows Updates. These are
usually "old" version and by personal experience, can cause more
problems.

Has your display always showed this behavior, if not, then what changes have
you made recently?
Operating system?
Graphic Card?
Monitor?

If you inadvertently "updated" the video driver to an unsuitable
version, you may try a roll back of the driver. (Display Properties,
settings, Advanced, Adapter, Driver)
