Hi people from toms hardware. thank you beforehand because i know u will help me with my problem.
i have core i3 2120 with gigabyte ga h61m ds2. I install win7 with no problems, and the pc works fine.
but as soon as i install the VIDEO DRIVER for the intergated graphic on the cpu, at random it shows extreme artifacts then freezes. i have to do a hard reset so it gets to work again.
that happens on win 7. not while loading or in the post screen.
sometimes it happens as soon as win7 starts, after the "wellcome" message. other times it happens after 5-10 minutes of win7 working.
if i uninstall the video drivers then it start working again.
so the problem is the integrated video. i installed the driver on the cd that came with the motherboard, and also uninstalled it and installed the one from the official gigabyte site.
what can i do to try to solve it?
if it is a hardware problem, it is from the cpu or the motherboard?
thank you again and i hope u answer me soon
