My graphics card is keep crashing and it is so frustrating!
It normally crashes when I im in the a raid on world of warcraft.
When it does crash it comes up with 153.something about kernel?
When I'm watching a youtube video the video goes green and plays sound. (i don't know if this helps)
It goes like all fuzzy for a couple of seconds then comes on but it makes games not respond for a couple of seconds also and because I'm a healer on wow those 10-20 seconds are vital.

Download and install Free Everest Home Edition
Open it.
1: In left pane expand Computer folder.
2: Click once on Summary
3: In upper menu, go Report
4: And then to Quick Report-Summary
5: Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Click the + by computer, click on Sensor. Get a screenshot and post it so I can check your temps and voltages...


DO NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING UNDER THE LINE THAT SAYS "DEBUG- PCI"

Hello,

I used compressed air to clean out the internals of a computer. You can purchase cans of compressed air from your local hardware store.

Make sure the computer is shut down and power disconnected.

Open up the side and give it a good blast out. Just be sure to not touch anything except the fans when you are blowing on them. I stop the fans so that they do not spin too fast - this can cause the bearings to stuff up.
