Does this happen only in Vista - i.e. never in your XP boot? If you haven't
been running XP much since installing the dual boot that might be worth
checking. It would help narrow a driver vs. hardware issue.

Barring that, it sounds more like a hardware problem than drivers. I
suspect the monitor, although the integrated video is also a possibility.
Sometimes motherboard video overheating may cause this type of problem
though usually when running games or other high level graphics. Since this
is intermittent it may be difficult to trouble shoot. If possible, try
using a different monitor for a while and see if it recurs.
