Blue is pretty....but I dont like it.

Ok...So I did all that yesterday. Not the memtest, but I have it ready to go.

Today, when I turned the beast on I got a couple of freezes, then an message pops up saying that my grahpics card had stopped working and that it had resolved the issue itself...

That, to me is a marked improvement. I would usually be seeing bluescreens by now.

I chacked in the action centre and sent away a report to windows, living in hope that something is seen by someone...then noticed that a windows update for MSE was happening throughout it all...

After that I logged onto a forum which has lots of pretty damn pictres and animations all over the place...that caused another freeze, this time the vertical lines thing happened (which is hard on the eyes let me say).That required a reboot.

Since then nothing, not even a little twich...

Pretty damn good for this computer I reckon..

So, thank you guys I really appreciate the help.

This is a sign of overheating or defective GPU

Bloody thing has been a menace ever since I put it in to be honest...

I am definately going to rip it out and get an Nvidea card as a replacement...

I actually like the card when it works it is awesome,easy to manage and all that, but I think it is fighting with the OS all the time...

Decision made, back to Nvidea....now just gotta wait for the bloody shops to be open to go get one...
