Video Drivers Failing, Bluescreening (RESOLVED)
« on: July 15, 2011, 05:46:22 PM »
Ok so i keep getting a weird thing where my screen goes white and a message pops up for about 5 second saying the video card/drivers stopped responding, and then i bluescreen, the last two days its happened 5 times, what is causing it and how do i fix it?

The only thing i know thats wrong with my computer is that the power source is insufficient.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you�re a mile away and you have their shoes.

I used to have similar problems. Were you trying to update drivers or something?

Depends on the card... My method is a bit more... hands on.

I just pop open the case and poke the card, if it burns my finger, I shut down the comp for a while.

How are your fans?  Also, have you installed anything or gone to an obscure* site recently?

(* you know what I mean here.)

Check your fans, make sure there's no obstruction.
It's not an actual burn. If it's overheating it usually feels like a warm shower or touch the side of a coffee cup. I'm not asking you to stick your finger on melting silicone here... although if that's the case, unplug immediantly.
It's a legitimate question, Malicious material can come from any place though.

Well. I will look into this issue, but there's not usually problems with Radeon cards...
