    Stripey screen
    « on: August 01, 2009, 09:47:49 AM »
    Hi,

    I am trying to install Microsoft Office 2007, I have tried 6 or 7 times now, it gets just over half way through when the computer crashes a stripey screen appears.

    The stripey screen has appeared once or twice before but only at random times.

    Does anyone know what may be causing this??

    Thanks

    Overheating of your GPU. Are you properly ventilated? Is your machine pushed up against a wall? (I assume its a desktop)

    Look at your graphics card and if there is a fan check that it is spinning. Also clear out dust from any fans.

    Just for future reference...no need for dual posts of an issue.

      thank you for all your replies! i have recently moved my computer around a bit due to decorating and since i have put it back it had been making quite a lot of noise, so i will definately check the fan out.

      thanks again!!
