Hey, I'm currently running windows in Safe mode as an attempt to get around this...
Earlier on I was minding my own buisness playing command and conquer Renegade when *poof* the computer freezes and the monitor looses it's signal. I was left with no option but to restart the computer after a forced shutdown. Upon restart the computer seemed to be running fine.. **Erm it's happening again need to make this quick** however upon attempting to start a game it would crash on the main menu every time without fail. I mean crash as in absolutely no means of input... keyboard seemed to be inefective with shortcuts Task manager ect.. I then again restarted via force shutdown. Only upon the next reboot there were missing pixels even at the BIOS and POST screens however this appeared to clear up by the login screen. Ten minutes later the Computer crashed with similar symptoms as above... Lost signal ect. This was while actually attempting to type this in normal runtime mode. Upon the next restart a few minutes into use after logging in several artifacts began to appear on the screen followed by dislocation of several items and an overall pixulated look with Green and Pink dots everywhere... Crash and Restart now this.
The problem is actually returning in Safe mode justnow so I suspect It's definately my GPU on the way out as it is quite old. I was just about to upgrade it anyway... Refer to this post regarding the upgrade anway: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=113288 I'm just about to purchase the Corsair power supply that was mentioned.
Hopefully I will get some use before computer crashes again.. Still becoming more mutilated.
Thanks, any help would be apreciated. See the above link for system specs anyway.
