Hi guys.
Basic problem is that my computer freezes every time i start a game. I'm assuming this has something to do with the video card.
My steps so far have been to format my HD and re-install windows vista. I have not connected to the internet since re-installing windows so I am almost certain I have no viruses.
The problem occurred whilst playing a game, the computer froze and was totally non-responsive - even to ctrl+alt+del.
Sometimes when I switch it on, it loads up until the login screen which stays blank.
I have found that I can start it up successfully in safe mode.
My specs are as followed:
Manufacturer: Dell Inspiron 531
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.81 ghz
RAM: 3582mb
System type: 32-bit OS
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS
OS: Vista Home Premium
If you need anymore info pls ask
Thanks
