[SOLVED] Black Screen

I just bought the e-GeForce 6200 card and have been using it for a week and all of a sudden the screen will go black for like 2 seconds and i move the mouse and it goes back and then a few minutes later it will do the same thing. I haven't installed any of the drivers and i'm not sure what ones to install if i need any. Also, the colours on the screen like the change.
