Icons flashing, search box unusable

Various icons are flashing, search bar will not accept text input or text input not displayed.

I have changed the PC, the monitor and the VGA lead.
I have also turned off the internet.

Computer type OS and hardware parameters might help...as another poster asked, what happens in Safe Mode? If the problem persists, in Safe Mode, I'd suspect video erratic/failing.
