hi i got most of these BSOD erros and i also get applictations closeing randomly....
i dont think it is my video card because if it was my vidseo card monitering software
would have told me that something is wrong. and so far it hasn't i can't overclock
my computer because it doesn't let me even with aftermarket overclocking software...
so i can't change any clocking on my computer from what it was when it came off the
gateway assembaly line.. i also get BSODs with drivers like:
FSDFW.sys
and i get the DRIVER_IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL
what could be my problem.. im hoping it doesn't cost me any money.
