Weird Laptop Problem

[BMW POWER]

Hi there about a week ago my laptop started acting a little bit weird and I wondered if any of you guys could shed some light. It's an Acer Aspire 5051 running Windows XP Home SP2, used mostly for internet and work documents. Now the problem its started doing is every now and then at completely random times all the text on a menu in windows completely disappears (check shutdown pic for example) with the only way to fix this being a system reboot. The only program that sort of displays fairly well when this happens is FireFox but this still comes up with altered text and strange page layouts (check firefox pic for example) and if I try to open IE when this happens it shows me nothing except a giant arrow! lol (see pic for example). It’s a bit of a weird one this and it’s got me scratching my head quite a bit, I tried all the usual spyware and virus checks, updated the system and even tried a system restore but the problem keeps coming back. If any of you guys have a suggestion it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
