weird glitch , screen going blue (and nuts)

I have a pesky crappy intel 128 mb intel graphic card

That'll be the problem. They aren't really designed to do a lot, and the 128 MB of memory is probably shared system memory, and not dedicated. Set everything to lowest, see if that works, and then start turning things up until things start going wrong. That way you'll get the best settings possible on your card.
