1.	Solve : Computer restarts possibly due to graphics card. please help?
Answer» it seems that anytime i use my graphics card the computer restarts. It only happens with games, sometimes dvds, new versions of firefox that use OpenGL, and when i run a demo for the nvida graphics card. Im running Windows 7 that came with a Geforce G210. The drivers are up to date, and here is the problems description after it restarts. There is no actual blue screen when the computer restarts, it just turns black. Its an HP p6350z with, AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 processor 2.80 GHz, 4gb ram, 64 bit. the PSU is; Liteon, model number; PS-5301-08HA. However i bought the computer refurbished and it seems as if its had this problem since IVE gotten it.

Have you monitored the temps & checked for overheating?I have not, im not sure how i would check the temp of the graphics card.DLoad install and run SpeedFan...Free.ok i installed it and ran it, but idk what all the info means or which one is my graphics card Should say GPU.Thanks. The GPU has a flame next to it, and says 69C. When i run the demo for the graphics card it GOES up to around 76C. Then when i open up the web BROWSER while that is running it goes up to around 85C. which im assuming means it is overheating. should i get a new graphics card? or is it possibly fixable? any suggestions? It's supposed to get warmer when it's being USED. Use more than app to verify, HWInfo32 (or HWINfo64 for 64-bit OS) CPUID HW Monitor If 76/85 degC is accurate, that's too hot. Is the GPU fan running?I installed CPUID HW Monitor. And with the graphic card demo running it was only at 63. and the fan was running at 33%. however the computer never restarted this time. im not sure why.Fan is sticking?I am not sure. I just played a game nd the computer restarted after about 10 mins. Once it restarted i checked the temp and it was at 87, nd the fan was at 85%. So it seems it is overheating. would getting a new graphics card solve the problem? Not 100% sure at this point. They don't just overheat for no reason. You could try reapplying thermal paste to the GPU.You should post your temps so we can determine if there are other issues... i didnt know how to upload the temps so i just took a screenshot. if that isnt wat u wanted u will have to explain to me how to do it. haha sorry i am not very computer savy.
