My fathers computer is freezing up a lot, it seems to be when we click on internet explorer but only sometimes when the page loads.
I have just formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows vista for him, aswell as a few other software applications, graphics card driver and kaspersky antivirus. a short while later i went to go onto the internet and it froze once again with a black background, no text and completely frozen.
So far there have been dark blue, green, black and white colours showing.
The only thing changed in the computer recently is the graphics card which was changed from a 8400gs to a gtx 260 216 SSC edition, and power supply from 300w to a Corsair tx850w. Dont seem to get a freeze when playing games, but not 100% certain on that.
The only odd thing i remember was my father saying he saw 2 guns in front of him in CSS where 1 looked like a ghost gun.
Anyone know what the problem is? after a format and fresh install of windows i would have thought the problem would go, but it hasnt.
