  1. Overview of the problem
    whenever i start my computer, the screen goes black, and my graphics card fan goes at full power. this happens sometimes when i'm sill in the bios, it happens when im just browsing the web in windows, or whenever i try and launch a game.


  2. Full description of the problem and symptoms
    this problem started happening after i installed "call of juarez", so naturally i uninstalled it. the problem persisted. so i did a restore point to earlier that day, i still experienced the problem. i then proceeded to reinstall my graphics drivers and still had the same problem. i then took the overclock off of my processor, and still no luck. i tried everything i can think of so i'm asking you guys for help.



  3. Did it work normally at one time, or has the problem always existed?
    this problem started happening after i installed "call of juarez", so naturally i uninstalled it.

  4. Is the problem consistent and repeatable, or entirely random, or semi-random?
    this happens sometimes when i'm sill in the bios, it happens when im just browsing the web in windows, or whenever i try and launch a game.

  5. I already tried these steps:
    i uninstalled call of juarez, but the problem was still there. so i did a restore point to earlier that day, i still experienced the problem. i then proceeded to reinstall my graphics drivers and still had the same problem. i then took the overclock off of my processor, and still no luck. i tried everything i can think of so i'm asking you guys for help.

1)Make sure you have the latest drivers installed off Nvidia's website

2)Make sure your system and/or video card is properly cooling.
