My computer has recently been having issues while playing and streaming videos. After a few minutes into the video, the screen begins freezing and flashing black, while the audio can still be heard with the screen completely black. Sometimes, the blue screen appears and the computer automatically restarts, but most often, I must manually push the power button to restart. Once Windows Vista reopens, a message appears saying that my display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered. This has repeated for several days now. After the last time it occurred, I could not even see the Windows screen during reboot -- all I could see were fuzzy colored lines on my screen. I had to plug in another monitor to see the screen, which showed a message saying that restart was unsuccessful. Can anyone help me figure out the problem and how to fix it? Is this a hardware problem with my graphics card, or perhaps an issue with a display driver update? Thanks for your help!
