that really cant be the problem on 32bit vista. i cant see why? it shuts the computer of alltogether??

also my internet has stopped working now
!!!

i have the ethernet cable in the pc and my router recognises that its plugged in but my pc is not finding anything at all??

it could be a corrupt install of the directx files needed to perform the windows experience index scoring.

i will try. but what about this ethernet problem now?? the router shows that the port im using is active?!?! but my pc is not detecting ANYTHING from the router or even the ethernet cable

i think you need to reinstall vista if your getting so many problems at the same time, maybe a dodgy install from who you bought it off.

Sounds like a power issue. What power supply do you have?

**xguntherc** · 03-04-2009

ya the new GTX 260 might be sucking all the power.

install the latest drivers, as messed up ones can cause ALL types of weird problems. as Nvidia is a big part of Vista problems. lol. until you get the drivers right.
