O.P. Display Screwed
Some thing suddnely gave way and then my pc froze for about 10 secs .... it came back and it was in 640x480 and 4 bit colour

[Image: attachment.php?pid=558871]

I didnt even know xp had 4 it colour :-/
But thats what it said under desktop>rt click>properties ....

Whats wrong .... its fixed now but this is more of a permanent problem with the pc randomly rebooting.

Microsoft's site thinks its cause of over heating of one of the following:
[list=1]
[*]Motherboard
[*]CPU (The Chip)
[*]Ram
[*]Power Supply (PSU)
[/list]

But the ram is ok, motherboard .... i dunno .... CPU i dont think so but possibly and the PSU no idea again.

Any solutions .... tell me some apps to check out these problems

Update: Oops I forgot to upload the pic :P

The over heating thing was a reply by MS for by restarting problem. They are in the same thread cause i think they are linked.

RE: Display Screwed
As the box says, it's a problem with your display driver. Try to update them.

Don't know about the rebooting/overheating tho.

Reeboting solved it ... display driver is ok .... but i think the problems are related .....
Any solution ... apps for temperature checking. I know its an easy google but i want to know of some reliable recognised programs :P

That happened to me when my video card started to go, so maybe that's the issue. 8-)
