Dave,
I had this problem when I first installed FC2.
I found out it was a GL issue. I disabled the screensaver and
everything was fine after that. The issue appeared at random because
the screensaver was set to "random" and GL is only used in some
screensavers. I don't know if that will work for you but it's worth a
try.
Best,
Steve
