I'm not entirely sure what is causing this but I have some theories. It all started almost a year ago, when my computer would freeze with a pink screen and various other colors. About a month after it started, it some how just fixed itself. It tends to freeze when I have video games running--though it has happened on the desktop and web browsing as well.
Fast forward, it is now doing it all over again. My two computer savvy friends believe it is either a problem with my graphics card, or processor (or maybe my motherboard). But I have no way of actually finding out. I have a warranty on the graphics card so I could get that swapped out. My computer specs are as follows:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Processor 3.00 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 280
Windows 7 is the operating system
I would post more information if I knew how to acquire it but this is all I know how to share.
One of my friends theorized it was a Windows 7 system update that caused this nearly a year ago, so I had rolled back to a previous update, deleted several gigabytes worth of video games data to try and desperately fix my problem. And I don't remember what I did (if anything) that fixed it but it was fixed--and now it's back again. And I am so worried.
Any help is appreciated, thanks everybody.
