sudden my computer acts unstable!
my graphic card is not showing on cpu z nor in control panel display adapter! and my video playback is laggy! not smooth! i downloaded "media codec" which seems to fix it but then after a day the playback is laggy again!
from the start when the whole machine starts acting strange:
- computer sudden lock-up for few seconds... then an error message pop up saying "display driver recovered from an error"
- then after it starts constant lock-up every 10, 20 min. then when reboot.... boot up then bam lock-up right away! reboot again... lock-up! recycle! but after i uninstall AVG and disable many services at startup it no longer lock up.
- the psu fan was making strange noise.... like high then low pitch and sound like a junk car without smog. the psn fan was going real slow like beyond normal! and i know my zumax psu adjust the fan speed itself but this is beyond normal! then somehow the psu sounds fine.
it no longer have lock ups but my video playback is laggy! plus my graphic card is not showing in specs! like cpu z and in control panel display adapter.
at first i thought this is a psu problem but after seeing my graphic card does not apear in specs.... makes me wonder if its the graphic card?
update:
it says "windows disable graphic card because it has problem. code 43" in device manager. something like that
what does that mean? how to fix?
