Hi
Got a philips Freevents X54 laptop with a nvidia Geforce go 7400 gpu. Everything was fine till yesterday when i loaded supreme commander, after a couple of minutes it just locked up and had to reboot. On rebooting the bios screen had blue vertical lines down it and when trying to boot into windows the screen had garbled text all over it and it just blue screened and reset itself. After booting into safemode and removing the nvidia drivers it would boot fine into windows and could use it fine.
Today i tried various nvidia drivers and it takes forever to boot or just resets it self, even tried a fresh install of vista and same results. Works fine with svga drivers installed. The corruption in the bios screen seems to get worse the longer the laptops been on which leads me to believe it could be heat related.
Anybody got any suggestions? TIA
