What I am getting from my PC:
- Scrambled text in the boot menu.
- The scrambled text dissapears and everthing goes normal after several restarts, or the computer has worked for some time.
- Display goes blank showing, windows kernel mode driver stopped responding.
- Sometimes the windows just hangs, I need to restart the pc for that.
- There used to be some scrambled colors in my windows, so I cleaned up my video carda and port and reinstalled the video card, things are something right.
- The pc runs normally for hours in safe mode, as diffault display driver works at that case.
My PC specs:
- Core 2 Duo processor
- 2 GB RAM
- NVIDIA EN210 SILENT GPU
- Windows 8
Drivers details: NVIDIA drivers - v331.65, told to be fully compatible with Win8
Currently I am installing Windows 7 and will be putting the older version of driver v320 to test, yet I'm really confused weather my GPU is dying or still on go.
