Following on from my problems last week, my computer is randomly freezing,
nothing on the screen moves (Mouse Cursor etc) and the only way to stop it is
by pressing on the restart button, and recently the computer is refusing to
start straight away.
I can hear the computer making it's normal sounds but nothing appears on the
screen (The start up screen etc). So I turn the computer off, leave it for
1/2 an hour and it works, until it freezes again, after 20 minutes or so (Im
not sure if it's regular or just a coincidence)Following on from my problems

either while it won't start
The screen is also occasionally flashing black for 1-2 seconds aswell
(Although it rarely happens, twice during the whole of yesterday)
The major problems occured when an error message appeared saying a device
had failed and Windows needs to restart, the screen had gone into a lower
resolution and the colours were weird (I assume it was a drop in the number
of colours on screen)
It seems as though the graphics card is being affected although the device
manager says it is working fine.
I ran a anti-virus last week and got rid of any Viruses, I ran it again to
check that there were none left.
Any ideas?
