| 1169082 | 2011-01-12 09:00:00 | I would certainly be looking at that (bad caps). It is in the era. But, seriously, how much money can rationally be spent on an 8 yr old computer?? |

| 1169085 | 2011-01-12 10:10:00 | Probably the wrong version theyre not compatible | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1169086 | 2011-01-12 10:11:00 | If the crashes are location-based remember that external devices like scanner, printer, etc didn't go with the PC to the technician (or at least I assume so in this case) So it would be worth testing without those connected to see if it fixes the problem. hrmmm, I'm leaning more towards overheating, dodgy power feed or bad capacitors at this stage, as the printer & other peripheral haven't shown up in any of the bsod message reports, won't rule it out tho. |

| 1169087 | 2011-01-12 10:16:00 | Probably the wrong version theyre not compatible righto, if i download a new nvidia driver & screw it up (wrong/old version etc) is the PC going to be bricked & unusable? (as in I won't be able to ask for help half way thru?) every now & then our monitor very slightly 'dims' for a few minutes before coming back to normal - could this be a sign of the mains power being a cause or just a coincedence? The monitor is a mid-range sony LCD, so not garbage quality wise. interesting if it is power related, as I run a work PC here off the same power outlet & that machine hasn't missed a beat... ever. |
