Hi guys,
For some time now (6 months or so)I have been have problem waking up my pc from sleep.
It used to work 90% of the time but other 10% I had to unplug it and restart it again.
A few months back I also had problem with my graphics card. Screen used to go blank for a few seconds and I used to get message that the graphics driver has stopped working and has recovered.
I was out of town for a month and my computer was working fine for my siblings.They don't use sleep they just shut it down.
When I came back, I used it a little and put it to sleep.
When I switched it on the transistor on the Graphics Card blew.
Is it a coincident that it happen when I put it to sleep OR
Can there be something wrong with my power supply which caused it.
Or was it my graphics card all along.
I am going to buy a new graphics card and don't want it to blow up to .
specs:
i5 750 ,
MSI : P55 gd65
4 gb ram
ATI xfx 5770
Gigabyte 460w power supply
