It's energy saving :P just go to Screensaver options -> energy something and disable "stand by?"

He wouldn´t be able to get onto desktop or play ET at all if the frequency was too high.

its your screen not the graphic card

Sounds like gfx-card or cpu is overheating,
open your case and check the coolers.

its not overheated for sure because it started when i started my pc when it had been of for like 24 hours

Well, then don´t take a minute to look after it and let it burn, your decision :)
It´s just a guess but I would check it...

you have to buy a new computer i think, or you could try with new screen only to begin with. But I had the same problem with an old computer. When I ran programs that included animations or so, it froze after a random time, and I had to turn it off and on again. Really really annoying!

So it might be because the grapich card is broken too, but the safest thing is just to buy a whole new computer =)
