ok recently my comp has been turning it self off suddenly
and when i turn on again the Mhz changes to the lowest (500) from 1000 and if i go into setup and change it to anything above 500 it will crash and turn off at the loading screen. When i started it up at 500 mhz a error message came up saying that my windows had recovered from a serous error then another error message came up saying my video card (intergrated SiS630) caused the error and i sent the error report and this is what the link i was givin sayed "Analysis Information


Thank you for submitting an error report. The error was likely caused by:

SiS Graphics Driver

now im not very smart when it comes to computers and i am confused at what i have to do next. Do you think updating my video card will fix my problem if not suggest something else
please
 
You might want to check with either the pc manu.site for updated grahic
drivers or the motherboard manu.site - this would depend on whether yr pc is
a generic or brand name eg Dell.

Aida32 - a free utility gives a wealth of info re yr sys/hardware etc -
search on google for it
Sis graphics are often built into motherboard, or used on various graphics
cards
Main stream pc manu. eg Dell/Gateway etc very often use thier own very
specific drivers.
In order to ensure you have the correct graphics driver;
First check if a main stream pc the manu.site
If not mainstream, if your monitor lead is connected to an obvious slot at
the back of pc
then its a card - use Aida32 or documentation of yr pc to find manu.site
If the connector dosnt go to a slot then its probably built into the mb.
Use Aida32 or docs to find manu.
It might also be an idea to download Adaware and/or Spybot update and run to
ensure yr sys is clean of spyware/trojans

Video drivers downloaded often come in
1/ a zip file, which you unzip to a folder and then run the enclosed install
file, there is also usually a setup.txt file which gives info on installing
2/ a self extracting zip which installes on opening
There is usually info on the site re installing/updating.
Without precise details of yr card I cannot give you the exact details on
installation procedure
