Guest Guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Good Day, Do you know what NVidia Gfx card you have. With Vista Right click the Desktop and select Personalization. From there, you will see Display. Click that and It should tell you the Video display adapter. That would be the first start. Also after determining Gfx card, click Start Menu Orb and select run and type "dxdiag". You will see The Direct X Diagnostic tool. Click the Display tab and please post driver version and graphic card model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tech Nerd Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 hi therethx for the advise i installed the dox version but just a moment ago it happend again :) Ok, Your driver is pretty much up to date, although, I would use WHQL 181.22 from nvidia website. Just select 9M series from drop down list, or have it detect you GPU. What kind of battery, does your laptop use? Your battery, if you are using a battery, could be bad. Also heat could be causing lock-ups. I recently owned a laptop where the battery would get very hot, and I had to buy a laptop cooler. I often had random crashes as well. If your laptop is still under warranty, you could contact the manufacturer and see if the laptop battery needs a replacement or if you need to buy a laptop cooler. Some manufacturers often supply people with free or discounted accessories if their product is still under warranty. This is one reason why I have abandoned laptops because of the battery overheating. I hope that the problem isn't to serious. I really hope that it is the battery because that is a simple fix.
