Blurry(?) 2D Panel

I've been having troubles with the 2D main panel in FSX. It's kinda difficult to explain what it looks like, so I'll attach a screenshot. This "blurriness" does not occur all the time, it's quite spontaneous and happens on any panel and not particular aircraft. When it happens, my FPS drop like a rock. I am sometimes able to get it to go back to normal by clicking on a clickspot for a knob/button or a clickspot to open another panel. If that does not work, the other panel is fine, but the main panel is still messed up.

 

It's FSX. I'm using dual monitors, with FSX displaying on the secondary monitor.

 

Any Help would be appreciated!

is it doing it across both screens?

 

do you know roughly how hot your components are getting?

 

speedfan is a freeware app that'll show you component temps.

 

Last time I saw something like this the GPU was getting too hot(eventually failed).

You didn't say which graphics card you're using.

 

Are you using ATi Overdrive or overclocking your g-card in some other way?

Sorry guys,

 

been out of town on vacation for a while.

 

My graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X300..no overclocking. The drivers are up-to-date. This occurs on both monitors.

 

After running that SpeedFan with FS running, I think it's an overheating issue. It says the CPU is 167F and the GPU is 131F!!

 

What do you think, is that the only issue?

those could be considered a little hot depending on specs for the CPU and GPU.

Reffering to my own old video card ( viewtopic.php?f=79&t=49603 ), try to lower some setting somewhere, because I guess, as the others, that the card is overheating, my problem looked like this:
