Graphics driver stops working, computer freezes?
Hi,
Over the last few days, my computer has been freezing. Before it freezes I repeatedly get a black screen flashing up and then a message that my graphics driver wasn't working but is has been repaired. It does this about 5 times, before completely freezing (ctrl + alt + del doesn't do anything). I have forced it to shut down and started it up, and it works for about 1 minute. At the time I was using microsoft one note (which I haven't had any problems with before), and google chrome, which I have only recently installed. I tried uninstalling chrome and using IE but it did the same after about only a minute of being switched on.
My laptop is about 4 years old, but I've only had problems over the last few days.
I'm currenly using safe mode, and I'm not having any crashing/freezing.
My laptop is a dell vostro 3500
Windows 7 home premium
Processor: Inter(r) core TM i3 CPU M330 @2.13GHz
Ram: 2.00gb (1,87 GB usable)
Could anyone advise me on what to do?
Thanks
