Hello,
I am trying to find a solution or at least some advice regarding my issues I described in this thread made in a different forum section as I thought it was caused by something else, but it seems it is an GFX issue :/
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3513116/randomly-rebooting-web-browser-works-fine-safe-mode.html#20183388
I was using this pc for aprox. one year w/o any problems similar to this...
Then I hadn't used it for like another half year, unpluged from power.
Now I have sold it to my friend and after I made a complete wipe of HDD and fresh reinstall of everything this started to happen...
Last time I visited my buddy in hope a simple reinstall of GFX drivers will fix it, which did not at all (turned out I was using the latest drivers for it) I noticed upon the driver installation some error popup... unfortunately I cannot add it right now when I am writing this post, as the PC is not by me.
(gonna add it after I get to my buddy in few days).
IIRC it was something regarding OpenGL 2.0...
I was able to click OK on the popup and the installation continued normaly...
During the installation. or after it I am not sure now, some error occured again but the installation completed.
(sorry for not providing the error msgs, I know it is important, so I will add them asap)
I write this in hopes that there is maybe some easy fix for it, like installing some older drivers?
or dunno. smash the pc with hydraulic claws and burn it with hellfire...
the pc runs on Windows 7 64bit SP1
GPU - ATI/AMD Radeon R7 240 1GB DDR5 edition
MoBo - GIGABITE - GA-MA78G-DS3H rev.2 iirc
2x1GB DDR2 @800Mhz A-Data Vitesta Extreme Edition
if you need some other PC specs, let me know
