Comments/Problems:

Installed debian live 7.0 amd64 kde without any issues really. I am able to log into the desktop, but at some point the screen becomes warped or distorted and I can no longer make anything out. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 6150E. Debian seems to have an issue with the video card and I don't know how to correct it. I can reboot and reload the grub with no problem but then about a minute in is when the screen warps/distorts.
