Is the vide driver up to date?

Looks like you're using legacy vga drivers, correct?

hi thx for the quick respond.
u mean the video driver??
u think I should update it?

 

[cybercore]

What is your video card model and what is the driver version installed for the card ?

 

[reves]

how do I check that?

That is strange ands I think Cybercore's graphics card driver update is a good suggestion.

However, I would definitely shut down the computer at night. It removes all those DLL files from memory that have been loaded throughout the day of using it.

Also, you're wasting energy by leaving it on at night, just touch your battery pack to verify that. Hot, very hot.

You need to know the exact make and model of your video card before updating. Go to Start > Run, and type msinfo32. Expand the Components section, then click on Display.

Post the results back here for us to look over.

I prefer to leave it open..just put it to sleep. from some time to time I'm making restarts...
at the beginning it works perfect after sometime it becomes like this...=\

 

[cybercore]

Good point by Reghackr, I'd follow the advice.

As for:

how do I check that?

Start menu -> type dxdiag -> check in the screen tab.

thx

Wow, I would have bet anything that the video driver was going to fix it.

Anyhow, open an elevated command prompt. Type the following command then press enter:

sfc /scannow

When that's done, set the default Aero theme.

 

[reves]

I've changed the theme...leeme update u guys XDD

thx alot !!!!

 

[cybercore]

Ha ha, was it all about the theme then?

 

[reves]

no just checked again now still after some time the problem is showing up):

 

[cybercore]

Did you notice anything that causes this, such as certain software?

Did you follow this suggestion:

Wow, I would have bet anything that the video driver was going to fix it.

Anyhow, open an elevated command prompt. Type the following command then press enter:

sfc /scannow

When that's done, set the default Aero theme.

1. You need to have Windows 7 install DVD in your drive. Then open up command prompt window and type sfc /scannow. Wait for this operation to complete. If you don't have 7 install dvd, run sfc /scannow anyway to be sure none of sure your system files are broken.

2. Next, in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r. This'll check and repair any hard disk errors you may have.

3. Apply default Aero theme, and reboot.

I did all that now we have to wait a bit to see what's up...
I'll let u know guys asap.
