Windows 7 - PC crashes
I installed Windows 7 upgrade recently and every so often my cursor changes to a vertical line with small horizontal lines on it and then my monitor goes blank or has a light blue background with faint lines on it. The base unit is still switched on but nothing else happens until I force it to close down, by holding in the on/off button, and start it up again.
I use a Netgear WG111T wireless adaptor that is not fully compatible yet with Windows 7 so that might be the problem. My graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD3450 that only gives me a performance rating of 3.5 on Windows 7. My monitor is a Iiyama E2208HDS and I haven't managed to find a Windows 7 driver for it. So any one of these things could be the problem.
Has anyone a definite answer or does anyone have any other thoughts?
Thanks.
