I have
oem hp m8010y
2.4ghz quad core asus pb5w-la basswood oem board
intel p965
1 or 2gb or ram (not sure)
nvidia geforce 8500gt
windows home premium 32bit os integrated into the hard disk as a partition
had an oem 350w psu and just upgraded to ocz 600w (problems occured before and after) not a psu issue
Os fails system reboots, i have restored to an earlier point, checked all of my hardware devices in device manager and it says everything is working properly. System works fine for a couple of days and then the screen freezes up, sometimes it gets artifacts, goes black and trys to reboot. I have checked the memory, hard disk, they seem ok. I have formated the hard drive and restarted from scratch. Today it has happened all over again saying the display driver has stopped responding. Is this a gpu problem or is it possible that my os system is faulty? If the gpu has failed would it prevent windows from booting up?
