Subject: Computer crashing assistance.

Alright guys, I got home today and went onto this computer. After opening up an email from Itunes, my screen then had lines come across it and ultimately froze the computer. I tried restarting and when I did, the PC was on but my monitor was not recognizing that it was on.

After a few persuasive kicks, I was able to get the monitor to work and run a startup repair. I finished that and loaded back up, but my computer was responding significantly slower than usual. I walked away for a bit and instead of going on a sleep mode the monitor just stopped recognizing the computer was still on.

After ANOTHER few restart attempts, here I am.

Has any of this happened to you?

My computer is a gateway, and it's only a year or so old.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers if the lines were green or distorted and went horizontal and vertical. That may indicate a driver crash.

Life is like a clogged toilet. It's full of crap until you do something about it.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

If it is a dedicated card then try reseating it. Also try reseating your RAM as well while you are in there. Make sure your comp is off, unplugged, and you are grounded before attempting it.

It's definitely your video card OP. I've had the same thing happen to me numerous times.
