Resolution display problem
The last few days, after having computer on for 5 hours or so, the screen goes blank and shuts down.
When I restart it the screen resolution is way lower than it should be at 1920x1200 for a 24" screen. The display is almost like it is in safe mode but after booting up it doesn't say safe mode. I go into change resolution and it shows 800x? a very low resolution and that box is grey and won't allow me to change it to 1920x1200. Is this a sign of the card going bad or is there a quick fix for this problem? If I turn it off for an hour or two it will boot up with the correct resolution. No it is not set for hibernating. Any and all help appreciated. Dennis |

Have you checked temperatures ?
Maybe it is overheating for a faulty fan or dust ??? HWMonitor has a free version that might help. HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting They also have a portable/standalone version if you don't want to install it. |

It could be a hardware issue, or a driver problem.
I'd re-install the drivers and see if it helps. Some other possible fixes here: Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems How To Fix Error Code 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems) |

Dave,
Did the uninstall and went to Nvidia and found the right driver. Now waiting for it to install to take place. It's a big file so the install is time consuming. Will get back (soon) and let you know how things are going. Thanks for helping. Dennis |

Dave,
Thanks for your input. I had did an uninstall before and had problem downloading the Nvidia driver. This time I followed (step by step) and realized the first time after I uninstalled it from Device Manager I didn't do a reboot before downloading the Nvidia driver. Not sure if that had anything to do with anything but it did download completely. Download finished/ rebooted/ and display is now working. However when I clicked on browser(Google) multiple tabs opened on taskbar? Closed them one by one then the screen went dark/shut the computer down and restarted. Just opened it again and clicked on Google, just once, and sure enough multiple tabs opened but I closed all but the one I am on which is working. In device manager everything is normal again. The display is on the correct settings for a 24" monitor. Computer is over 8+ years old which maybe my desktop is thinking of retiring. Glad I have a laptop that is a little younger as a backup. Have a great week-end. Dennis |
