Hey,
my screen often freezes for a couple of seconds. Not only when playing games (especially when playing games, but also while I'm typing this for example, every couple of seconds it freezes for a second or so). This is annoying while working and just using the computer in general, but it makes playing games impossible. I can't react to anything.
I have loaded GPU-Z, and I monitored it closely. Everytime I get a freeze the GPU Load falls to 0%. Does this mean I have a faulty gpu? Is the hardware broken or does it have to do with some driver for example? I have downloaded the newest nvidia driver from the nvidia site. I have tried a lot of different versions to see if it had to do with a specific driver version, but no luck. It freezes with every driver. I have reinstalled windows, twice. Once with 7 home basic, then with 7 professional (just to check if I had a corrupt version of windows), but still no luck. I have tried to do a bootlog, and also there I have the following line: Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\vga.sys .
I still have about 1 year warranty on this laptop (Yes it's a laptop, the gpu is a Quadro 1000M), but if it turns out it's a software issue, I will have to pay the technician since they only cover hardware issues and I've "wasted his time". So I only want to give in the laptop if I'm 100% sure it has to do with the hardware.
Anyone?
