    Is it a graphics card or onboard graphics? You could try roll back the graphics driver to an earlier stable version

    i rolled back the driver, made no difference.
    Is there anything else i can try or should i just give up and leave it in to be fixed.

    Windows Update has been known to crash graphics - cant recall the gfx card I had when I had the same problem .

    If you have a rough idea of when this started happening review your update history and uninstal any gfx update from around that time .
