    pc displayed this . .

    hey i was just on the net and my pc froze, it then went completly black, then came back on and displayed this. ( see attachted image at bottom)

    after that my pc was just lagging out and things like my folders were screwing up as if the fresh rate had dropped right down to somthing like10 frames per sec( folders were "jerking" across the screen" . the only other time this has happened is after i formatted it was always like this until i i would get the ati graphics drivers. anyway iv just restarted my pc and its fine, but anyone know what it was to do with? also what should be screen refresh be on? i think its on 72 at the moment.

    just after i posted that i was trying to get back onto DAL homepage and my pc crashed again, just froze up , didnt go black or anything. i tried Cntl, Alt and DEL but it did nothing. then i heard a few bios beeps, then a usual windows beep .(still frozen) so i restarted it ( using power button on front of my pc)


    every so often my pc does freeze but nothing these these 2 iv just said. what usualy happens is that it will freeze for about 10 seconds, go black, then just come back on like normal, but as you can tell these last 2 have been different. any ideas?

    thanks

    I found this http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/3968.html but you have probably already researched that for yourself. I haven't a clue but I have found that loads of people are having the problem.......it's usually to do with playing games.
