According to Microsoft, this problem, and many others like it, are caused by an incorrect installation of the video drivers specific to your video hardware. Make sure that everything is right, and the problem will go away....I had the same problem with an ATI Radeon 9200 card and XP Home.
Good Luck!

Look inside the computer, and blow out any dust with a can of pressurized air.
You said the temperature is 33 C. Is that when it's not doing anything?
My two guesses are:
overheating (solution: working fans, clear out the vents)
video card (what kind is it? does it have the latest drivers?)

GO to manufacturers website and download latest driver for your model graphics card.Uninstall current driver before installing new driver.
