Hi,
I am currently having problems with my graphics card(Nvidia Geforce 9800GX2) and I have tried all sorts of things.
Basically I have had my computer just over a year now and it has been working fine up until now.
The other day i was just browsing websites and listening to music when my computer froze and red dots appeared on my screen. I restarted my PC and the same happened again almost instantly when I logged on. I tried another restart and then my resolution was changed and I had this wavy horizontal lines appear on my screen.
I tried re installing the drivers for my graphics card but still didn't work. So i did a fresh install of windows vista (home premium 64bit) updated gfx card and motherboard driver only and it seemed to have fixed the problem, until I downloaded windows updates and installed them.
I tried a system restore to before the windows updates were installed but now i have the same problem, blue wavy lines across my screen and a low resolution.
The device manager recognises my gfx card there and all drivers are upto date, but I am getting Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) on my device manager.
Does anyone have any solutions to what the problem may be.
Thanks in advance!
