Hello.
my problem started when I was playing warcraft 3 and all of a sudden it froze. The mouse wouldn't work, alt-f4, ctrl-alt delete didn't work so i rebooted. Right after the windows loading screen the monitor's light when from green (normal) to yellow as if it were sleeping. so I could only get on windows on safe mode and VGA mode. I was reading around the internet and found some solutions such as, system restore, using driver cleaner pro, un/reinstalling drivers now the wierd thing about this problem is everytime I try and install a nvidia driver from the website or from 3dguru it starts at 50% everytime even after i reformatted the computer and installed clean windows. I think the reason it starts at 50% is because when I was reinstalling it the first time it crashed on the same spot it starts everytime I try and install isn't that wierd? when I went to device manager and deleted the display adapter and rebooted it would still be there, but when I go into display properties, settings tab it says display: (default monitor) on, I also deleted the registers from regedit and reinstalled, but no such luck. While I was reinstalling everything else another problem arised. My audio drivers wouldn't install either, it was freeze everytime it got to the point where it says windows is configuring the sound drivers or something, i've tried downloading drivers from the cd and websites. I've been having this problem for almost a week now.. could somebody help me? I've been told by a friend it might be a hardware problem. because recently my north bridge fell of without my noticing i have no idea what it was for so i thought it was okay, but it was put back shortly afterwards.
This is my first time actually posting for help so i'm not quite sure where I can get my specs info from so i'll tell you what I can.
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.81 GHz, 1.50 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7800 GS
I'm assuming I have a SoundBlaster audio card, because a family member gave me a Creative cd to install drivers from.
please help oh learned ones.
