Default One last problem..

I fixed my automatic restart,but my computer also does this thing where the screen will freeze then go black after a second or two and then a little box appears saying "No Signal". What does this mean and how do i fix it?


BTW i think it might be the graphics card cause if im lucky i can do Ctrl+ Alt+ Del and it brings me back to what i was looking at before it froze and a send or don't send error report comes from ATI.

Did your automatic restart happen when you was shutting down windows?

Do you get a "VPU Recover" message?

The same sort of thing has been happening to my computer, and I think it is most likely the graphics card. It could be a problem with the fan, that's what happened to me before.

Although, it could just be with the graphics card drivers. So you could try downloading the latest versions of those and installing them. That can fix the problem. Then also playing around with some of the settings in the Catalyst control center.

I don't know if you need to modify the registry before you install the drivers again. But I didn't.

Hope this helps.
