Flickering dots randomly over screen

TFT monitor (19")
Windows xp
Nvidia FX500
DV connection
2gb ram
Getting more of a problem, not sure if it is the video card but posted in this section as the most likely cause. Does not always occur but about half the time the pc is booted. Random flickery little lights across the screen (random flickering pixels), all over really but not so bad that the screen is unusable. Re-booting usually gets rid of them and provides the usual crystal clear image. Often happens when my son has been playing games and again cured by re-boot. Recently downloaded latest driver from nvidia but no effect. I think my psu is playing up due to other problems.. could this be a cause? Any advice gratefully accepted.
Thanks
