Hello all,

This has occurred a few times. I will give the last example of a page which made my computer reboot. It was a page called replacemyjob.net I have looked at other videos from this person and they worked fine. I think these videos are connected with something called infusionsoft.

When the computer shuts down. It restarts and you see the 'blue screen' then it asks which mode I want to start in.

I went to 'Staples' and asked about my situation. One person said I didn't have enough power or memory another said it was caused by a virus. I just clicked 'my computer' to look at the 'system information' and noticed the 'rating' it said the Windos experience index needed to be refreshed. So I clicked it and the computer rebooted in the same way I have described.

Thank you,

Earl.

Hi Earl,

 

I will try and assist you with this.

 

I have a theory, which hopefully will sort out both problems as I believe they are related.

 

What computer do you have? Is it a desktop or laptop? What is the make and model?

 

Thanks.

Thank you Ruggie UK,

I have a Dell Optiplex GX520 desktop.
Windows 7
Service Pack 1
Pentium CPU 2.80Ghz
32-bit

If any of that is useful?
 

[ruggie_uk]

Yes thanks. I believe this is a video driver issue, although I can't be sure. We need to eliminate this before looking at other possible causes.

 

Please do the following:

 

• Right Click on Computer
• Click Properties.
• Go to the tab Device Manager
• Click the Little arrow next to Display Adapters

It should say something like Intel GMA 950

 

What exactly does it say?

[My name is Earl]

*Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family
*NVIDIA GeForce 6200

[ruggie_uk]

Do you know if you have Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit?

 

If 32 bit, download the driver from here http://www.nvidia.co...spx/57491/en-us

 

If 64 bit download the driver from here http://www.nvidia.co...spx/57492/en-us

 

If you arent sure which version you are running, the following will tell you:

 

• Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
• Under System, you can view the system type.

It looks like you have an Intel 945 built in GPU and an add-in Nvidia card.

I am presuming that you are currently using the Nvidia so when you have downloaded the correct driver, install, let it reboot and then try the Windows Experience Index again.

Hello again,

* I have updated the 32-bit driver
* Under 'Control Panel\System and Security\System' I clicked to refresh the 'Windows Experience Rating' It rebooted as before.
* I went back to 'replacemyjob.net' and as before the computer shut down, restated with blue screen, etc. as before.

* Just to double check I did those steps again an got the same result.

What's next?

Is the display connected to the Add-in Nvidia card or the on-board Intel video connector?

Sorry, I am not following your last question.
Could you clarify, to help me understand how to figure out where it is connected?

How can I tell if the display connected to the Add-in Nvidia card or the on-board Intel video connector?

If the monitor cable is plugged in very close to the USB like where the yellow circle is on the attached pic then you are using on-board.

 

If it is plugged in near the red circle then it's the Nvidia.

I am not sure if there is a distinction, but normally it is attached to the 'red area' but I connected it to the 'yellow area' and found that I see a desktop without icons of any sort and when I right click it seems to show that I can do something with NVIDIA perhaps load it, I am not entirely sure what I can do in that connection. As I say normally it attaches in the read area.
