I recently started having alot of problems with my visuals with my computer, while playing games more notably the textures would tear and flicker but after enabling bios shadowing it stopped, a few days ago it started again and now after about an hour or so it gets so bad my monitor turns off and resets the screen, it gets miscolored, the desktop flickers and my CPU usage goes up and down, i dont have many processes running but system idle process seems to be 99 under the CPU category on the task manager, the specs for my comp are as follows;

Intel Pentium 4 3.20 GHz
1024 MB single channel DDR 400MHz RAM PC3200
nVidia Geforce 6800 GS

i've tried alot of things, new RAM didnt work, i doubt its my video card, its not the monitor, so im thinking it has to do with my operating system itsself, i updated my drivers, i fixed my registry, defrag'd, checked for disk errors...everything, virus scanned.
occasionaly it cuts to the blue screen and dumps my physical memory.

Best value for your money, not on a store brand computer.

I bought a case thats says it has 2 USB 2.0 ports in the front but when I got everything set up I connected a Hi speed device to it and on Windows it says that this device should be connected to a high speed port.
Since the case has the Usb 2.0 ports does that mean that my motherboard does not support Usb 2.0?

I need to know if it would help to reinstall Windows to correct the problems: 1, Everything is very slow, but I can't scan the hard discs or defragment. Also, I can't copy and paste into a Word document. 2. Another problem is when I try to watch a web site video, it only runs for a few seconds, then stops until it downloads another few seconds. 3. The computer keeps freezing and I have to soft-boot.

If reinstalling Windows will help, will I lose my files and documents already saved into folders. Will I lose software downloads that I bought?

If not, and I do reinstall Windows 98, which I have now, should I do the download first and then delete the old one, or vice versa?

If I download Windows 2000 instead, will all my documents, etc., work all right?

I hope someone can help, as I'm sure that if I can use the computer maintenance programs, I could speed it up.
Also, my computer repairman doesn't like Norton and said to take it off. Does anyone have an alternative?
