>Golly,Bob,Could be a lot of things.I've recently had a
problem with my video driver Nvidia GeForce 440 MX,kept
locking up,I had NVIDIA support help me out,they had me
do this > start > right click on my computer > properties
> hardware tab > device manager > click on display
adapters > right click on Nvidia,and uninstall > then put
the driver disk in the CD Rom and reboot > When it
restarts it runs the wizard for the video driver,and
loads the one that came with it.I guess windows update
had a updated driver that loaded that I wasn't aware of
had a conflict with the video card,happened bout 3 weeks
ago,after doing that it hasn't locked up since.Good
Luck,from another Bob.
