Occasionally my computer will go to black for a few seconds, then to a blue screen, then restart.  I have no idea why.

The blue screen flashed on then off so fast that I cannot read it, but I did notice the words "Display Driver" toward the top of the screen.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,

Kate

For quite some time I have been having problems with my computer 1 - going to black screen, then 2 - going to blue screen which very rapidly displays message saying something about a display driver, then shutting down and rebooting.
Tonight just after this happened another screen came up with information from "Action Center. It said that my AMD Display Adapter and ATI Radeon Graphics Card had stopped working 42 times.
When I clicked on one of the items this is the information for many items listed:

I don't know what any of this means. Please help.

Hi irish

From what I can see, your AMD graphic card drivers are constantly crashing, making your system almost unusable. It's time for you to update them and see if these crash will stop. Do you know what is your graphic card model or not? If you don't, follow the instructions below:

DxDiag Log
Follow the instructions below to create a dxdiag log and post it in your next reply.

• Press on the Win Key + R keys to bring up the Run menu;
• Enter dxdiag in the box and press on Enter;
• If a message comes up asking you if you want to check if your drivers are digitally signed or not, click on Yes;
• Once the dxdiag report window open, wait for it to load completely. The progress bar is in the bottom left corner;
• Click on the Save All Information... button, then save the file on your Desktop as dxdiag.txt;
• Open the text file, then copy/paste all the content in your next reply;

Gday All.

irish_eyes,

 

Please do not duplicate your topics as it may lead to you being offered the same guidance at differing times and lead to confusion as to which and whose guidance you are following.

 

Thanks for the heads up iammykyl

Aura: Sorry, but I don't know what the "Win" key is. I have ctrl; start; alt. and one that looks like it has some kind of document on it.

Phillpower: This computer is an HP desktop. The other information I would not even begin to know where to look for it. I have never had anyone ask me for this information before.

The Windows Key is the key on your keyboard with the Windows logo, usually at the right of the left Ctrl key

Some images might help to identify the Windows (flag) key.

Click on this link to see the many variations it.

Press that key and the letter R key together, the run box will then open so you can copy and paste into the box the dxdiag for Aura.

To the right of the left control key is a start key.  After looking with a magnifying glass, I can say I do not have a Windows key.

[Aura]

The "start" key is the Windows Key.

Thank you for  your time.  My husband is going to take the computer to the shop and buy me a laptop.  I will let the IT guy fix it.

[phillpower2]

Thanks for the update irish_eyes 

 

Sorry that we were unable to help you resolve the issue, hopefully the tech will sort it for you and enjoy the new notebook btw.
