Hi i'm william.
I have a problem with my graphics card. the software driver makes this
graphics card unstable. its a gforce 440se graphics adaptor. whatever
software driver i have tried still makes it unstable. vertical lines
appear
on the screen,then no video signal.i have to restart the computer. it
generated an error report but msn does not have a solution for the
problem.
when i restart a few times then the problem goes away. any solutions?
bill
have you gone to the manufacturer's website and installed the latest
drivers?
if so...
maybe it's just not seated properly.
turn your machine off and open it up.
remove the card then re-insert it firmly
