Since you've updated the drivers, this is probably hardware failure. You
can double-check that the failing component is your video card and not
your monitor by connecting the computer to a different monitor. Of
course, while you're back there you also want to check that the cable
connection from the computer to the monitor is good, snug, no bent pins,
etc.

If the problem occurs when connected to a different monitor, then you
know for sure the video card is bad. The fact that it is new is
irrelevant - if hardware is going to fail, it will usually do so pretty
quickly or go for years. Since you have a new computer, contact the
computer mftr.'s tech support for repair/replacement.
