[[Also - have you ever had an issue with Nvidia ? Started a while back but getting worse recently . ]]
You didn’t ask me- but I run windows 7 with NVidia graphics card and have not had any issues-
[[I lose vidoe and “Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Stopped Responding “message ( in Japanese ) appears ]]
Doesn’t sound good- either a virus or card is going out, or a legit driver incompatibility issue- another ‘possible’ issue might be overheating-
I woudl try reinstalling the driver first- see what happens- that woudl be simplest effort- if it still happens, run a virus check just to be sure- then if nothing, i would try another card- would be good if you could find one from a friend just to try- first- to be sure it’s actually the card- if not- video cards are pretty expensive dependign on which ones you buy= if you don’t do any gaming, then you can get cheaper one to try but it’s still gonna be around $50 or so-
Thanks for the message and info .
Not overheating methinks because it happens most often as soon as the computer boots when I turn it on in the morning .
It began happening about half a year ago but just once or twice a week . Now ever day several times .
PC is old and survived a 7 magnitude earthquake ( fell to the floor ) so owes me nothing ( HP Touchsmart 300 )so I’m not going to spend any money on it . Perhaps I’ll take your advice and reinstalling the driver and see what happens . BTW - this is a made for Japan PC and I can’t always understand 100% computer lingo lol !
