I am having random screen flashes and then blue screen
I have a Gateway MD2614U laptop OS Win7 Home 32bit. Now my 15" flat screen tv can also serve as a computer monitor. When I am doing ham radio digital transmissions I have 2 primary prog's open and running at the same time. I setup in Win7 for the flat screen tv to be an extended monitor so one prog is on the flat screen tv and the other is on the laptop screen.
Everything was fine. Then everything went hay wire. At random times prog's started changing colors, blinking on and off on both screens, then the hole desktop started in doing it on both screens. Then everything goes black and a blue box pops up saying "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage" There is a lot more writing on the blue screen. That's just the 1st top line. Then the laptop shuts down and reboots. This has happened many times since I plugged in the tv as a 2nd monitor. With the monitor cable to the tv unplugged from the laptop there hasn't been anymore of that random stuff. And there wasn't anything like this before I plugged in the tv as a monitor. What gives here?
