Computer Freezing
« on: August 21, 2008, 10:45:56 PM »
Hey everyone. I have a problem with my computer freezing, but it's a little different than anything i've experienced before.

I started up my computer today like normal, and everything seemed fine. I started browsing the internet (Firefox) and after about 2 minutes or so my screen changed out of nowhere to this http://i33.tinypic.com/6yeg01.jpg. It was completely frozen like that. I turned off my computer and started it up again, and the same thing happened after a couple minutes (this time i was just looking through my music files). Then I re-started my computer in safe mode and just let it sit. i didn't open any programs or click on anything, and after a few minutes the same thing happened. I check my computer for viruses every day, but i couldn't get a full run through today because of the screen freezing. I have no idea what might be causing this, and any help would be much appreciated. I'm using windows vista home premium by the way.

It looks strangely beautiful in a way  ::)

When did the problem start?
Have you download or installed anything recently?
Any hardware changes?

Also, what Operating System is this?

Do you have on-board video, or separate video card?
