    computer shuts down

    I have a week old HP DV 6000 , 2 gig mem, nvidia G card .....when my daughter
    is @ an online game like renscape ..a blue screen (that is so fuzzy i cant
    read it) pops up and the computer shuts down..starting to happen more often
    every day

    any suggestions?

    two things to do:
    1. Do a CHKDSK /F on your hard drive to make sure there are no errors. You
    can do this by right-clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer. Then choose
    Properties/Tools/Check now and make sure the option is checked to
    automatically fix. It will require a reboot. During the reboot process,
    CHKDSK will run and will likely fix errors. Watch to see if it does. (If
    there are many, you may have to reinstall some things or even do a Repair on
    Vista. Hopefully, this will not be the case.)
    2. Regardless if errors are fixed, check the nvidia site to see if there are
    any updated drivers. Early Vista drivers can be the cause of a lot of Vista
    errors.

    Good luck.

    TAKE IT BACK. A one week old computer should not be behaving like this.
