Hi all.
(System Information Below)
Having some bother with my graphics card, from what I can tell.
The card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS.
The computer boots up with no problems at all, however when I am logged in and start up a game (or any graphics card reliant program) the whole system freezes with no error message, nothing. Sometimes get BSOD too. It also occasionally freezes at the welcome screen. I'm sure it's a problem with the graphics card as when I boot in safe mode and disable the graphics card driver, boot back into normal mode, there's no sporadic freezing.
I'm using a VGA cable from the card to the monitor, is that correct??
I have recently installed Windows 7 and seated 2gb of RAM.
I am also unable to put my computer into hibernation mode, the option is greyed out
So I have tried the following with no success:
Clean sweep of graphics driver and re-installation direct from nVidia
Re-seated the graphics card
Cleaned the graphics card of dust
Tried older drivers for my card
Updated motherboard drivers
Any ideas as to where I can go from here? I have run out of hair to pull out.
