I have a dual boot and haven't noticed this on Windows 7 but on my Windows XP, when I use multiple programs and do multiple memory intensive applications at once, some of the fonts turn black and some of the menu items disappear... and gradually the system freezes soon/immediately thereafter.
I have old drive image files so I went back a couple of months but it is still happening. This time as soon as I noticed it, I shut down some of the operations and Windows XP went back to normal.
I usually hit my system pretty hard with DVD editing, TV capturing, multiple other operations but did not have this problem before and as far as I can tell still don't have it when I boot into Windows 7.
Can it be hardware failing? Could it be software? What would be the plan to catch the possible culprit?
EDIT 12/5/2010: It actually may be Avira Anitivir update.
Yup!:
