BSOD on a random basis, sometimes can't even boot
HI,
My wife's computer is crashing on a random basis.
After some of the crashes, I wasn't even able to reboot. On that point sometimes I get "Disk read error", sometimes, instead of booting , I get screen which shows changing colors of white, gray, black and colors (green, red & blue - as far as I remember).
I had that problem last week. I've updated the BIOS, the problem gone, but now the computer keeps crashing. Sometimes it crashed in the middle of the night with no reason (no file sharing activities are present).
For a long time, on a random basis the computer hangs for a several seconds, with message "display driver stopped responding". Then the computer become usuable again with no BSOD.
My guess... hardware problem with 1. video card or 2. power adapter or 3. motherboard.
Any advise would be very welcomed
Thanks,
Amir.
