PC Issue

[GREMM1S]

Hey gents checking in with the usual computer problem.

Every now and then my system slows right down and often freezes resulting in only a hard restart fixing it.

I'm also getting graphical issues with my cursors when it slows down, sometimes is stays as the wrong cursor or goes multicolored 8bit style.

In event viewer i noticed a unspecified log relating to nvidia, couldnt find any real information searching around though.

This has only been happening since my fresh windows install with my new ssd.

Now putting two and two together it sounds like it's a graphics issue, i have reinstalled drivers to no improvement, virus and malware scans etc.

Any ideas gents? Have also discounted heat issues as all the sensors show that being ok.

Have seen updating the bios suggested quite a bit, but have always been warned against updating the bios.

Have you tried an older version of the graphics driver?

Also BIOS update may be worth a shot

No i havn't dude might be worth a shot.

Will try bios now.

mate,

try downloading the official graphics driver from the manufactures website.

Sometimes getting the drivers from nvidia can cause issues.

Bios update is a good start too, but sounds like graphics to me.

Tried older drivers amongst a few other things, the freezing is definitely related to nvidia according to event viewer. Will try bios update this arvo.

Cheers for the suggestions lads, bios update so far seems to be working, no freezes or error as of yet.
