Would you consider this is the VGA driver or maybe Viruses problem that caused the intermittent error?

Sorry Bill, I did not get a reply notification for your reply.
I don't see a virus causing an intermittent error - at least not one that could not be reproduced by doing whatever the malicious code was looking for. However, while I may not suspect malware is causing any particular problem or problems, I always suspect there may be malware present on any given machine not under my control - or at least I want to establish/adjust some sort of security and troubleshooting baseline by eliminating any potential threats or causes, even if remote. Checking for malware is a fairly simple task and so I say eliminate the (often overlooked) easy pickings first.
A corrupt driver, for sure, because who knows what resource (memory location?) the GPU and CPU are hitting (or not hitting) during any particular graphics call by some file some program is using? The issue then becomes, how was it corrupted? Power anomaly? HD crash? Malware? Hardware failure? Gremlins? However, a corrupt VGA driver would probably result in problems in Safe Mode too. So, that could point to the graphics card driver being corrupt, causing the monitor to fail to sync up when Windows wants to switch to higher, non-VGA resolutions.
But...

The first thing I would do is try another monitor, and/or try your monitor on another computer. This will quickly isolate the problem to the computer, or the monitor.

But at this point, we still don't know if it is your monitor, or something trying to talk to the monitor. So my suggestions from above still apply.

So once again, Raj, we need to make sure the problem is not a bad monitor that has a part failing intermittently preventing the monitor from synchronizing resolutions with your graphics card. Once we are sure it is not the monitor, then we can start looking at leaky capacitors/failing motherboard, heat, failing power supply, bad RAM, and other harder to troubleshoot problems.
Also asked and not answered was "when did the problem start?" This is important because if it just started 2 days ago, then restoring to a previous System Restore point might be a good option. If it has been doing this for months, and you are just now finally fed up with it, then that is not an option.
