system freeze
system freeze
- my PC specs: Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS
Display Memory: 512.0 MB
At first my video card was working alright when my OS was WinXP.But then, I switched to Vista a few months ago. at first it was okay so I installed a few games. I tested Left4dead, but while in-game, the PC freezes just a few seconds after the loading screen finshes and there's no option but to reboot. and when i tried playing C&C generals, the PC still freezes just in the menu. And later I found out that everytime 3d rendering is present, the PC would freeze. and so i called a friend and he told me that NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series drivers had many issues when it comes to Vista. So i reverted to WinXP, but now everytime i try to install something or just load up an application, the system just freezes. Can someone tell me what went wrong? did my video card got screwed?
