Apparently, while another user of my computer was doing something, the computer froze and the user was forced to shut down the computer. This is the very first time my computer has ever frozen. I put a new video card in only about three weeks/a week ago and it has been running excellent up until now. It is one of the older nVidia cards, one of the 4 series, 64MB. I had to switch my moniter to my crappy Dell graphics controller that I now need to use until I get a new card or fix my current one. Any help with fixing the problem or any confirmation that I am screwed would be immensely appreciated.
P.S.
My computer can find it but it keeps saying there is an error because it does not have the drivers installed. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the hardware and have deleted my drivers in an attempt to get this to work.
I just came into the possesion of a strip of RAM, specifically a 128 MB. The one already in my PC is 256. If I install it, will my PC wig out or anything bad like that?
I just took an eGeForce 64 MB video card out of one of my old computers to put in my newest 4 year old one since I have no graphics card and don't have the time or the money to get a newer one. I just know that the my old PC's hard drive blew sometime after I had put it in. I am not sure if it was the video card or not but I would like to try it in my newer PC. I would really like to know or have some kind of warning in case I destroy my only PC. Thanks for anyone who cares to help someone in need.
Right now, I have a pretty low computer and I am going to just get a new PC next year, after Vista has all of its problems sorted out (hopefully.) I am just wondering about a few things:
1. Is it worth it to pay the extra 200 for the nVidia 7900 GS or should I just go ahead and get the 7300 LE TurboCache? (both have 256 MB memory, which I am new at the video cards so I don't know how good that is.)
2. I wanna play Half Life 2 with good framerate and cannot get much with my current PC. I read somewhere on Gamespot that Half Life 2 doesn't utilize the dual core stuff. Does that mean I should get a faster processor so that the one the game uses goes fast enough to play it?
Thanks for any help given and any other tips would be appreciated!
