Need Help for Black Screen!

It's started a few days ago,
but when I run any kind of program,
the black screen appears for a second or two and comes back to where I was (normal screen).
It does not freeze or anything after the appearance of the black screen,
but it is very annoying. (It is happening right now even!)
It seems like some kind of program is running on the background
(because sometimes the pointer with an hourglass appears before the black screen appears.)
but I don't know what's going on.
Could it be some kind of virus? (well, I checked with Norton AntiVirus but it didn't detect anything.)
or could it be some kind of spy thing? (well, I checked with spybot and ad-aware but it didn't detect anything either.)
Any comment or any advice would really be appreciated

Thanks,
Hana
 
Hello;
You might try updating your video drivers. Sounds like it could also be a
refresh rate problem. Have you tried running a different resolution on the
video? (right click on desktop, properties, settings) lower refresh rate
might help.

Thank you very much for your reply
I actually tried to update my video driver the other day
and I thought it might have been causing the trouble
then I tried to uninstall the latest driver and reinstalled the older driver back
But, it still did the same thing...
I also tried running a different resolution, but again, it did the same thing
On the safe mode though
it doesn't happen at all, so it seems most likely that it's my video card
but I don't know exactly what it is
Or could it be something else still
 
exact same problem here. i will add that there appars to be double slanted arrows with the hourglass for a moment before and after the black screen pops on and off

started happening out of nowhere after one year of solid up time

virus scan / adaware showinmgh nothing

seems random and chaotic, happening whether online or off

no idea.
