Screens freeze, color changes, requires cold start and Startup repair
4 year old HP desktop, Win7 SP1, 4g ram. quad Intel, Nvidia GeForce 8600 GS. Several days now requiring multiple restarts with all OK for awhile, then freezup and won't shut down and requires power button shutdown and then the Startup Repair done each time. Have run Malware Bytes two or three times, Security Essentials twice, Startup repair several times, MS Defender offline scan once. System Restore several times as well as the "Last best", and all eventually worked for awhile. Made new restore points after good session. No bad stuff, virus, trojan, etc. found. Scannow several times with nothing shown. Startup Repair log a few minutes ago showed "Root cause found" "Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem" "Number of root causes: 1". Using dual monitors and when freeze occurs right screen background of open window turned pink, and left screen developed large darker blue swirls in the background. Hope this means something to one of you. Suggestions appreciated. Roving
