I wondered if anyone had a view on this...
I have a Dell XPS 420 (running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit) which has developed a problem.
When running a web browser, Chrome or Opera, it will (after a variable period of time) do one of three things:
1. Lock up solid with a drone from the speakers.
2. Blue screen of death.
3. Blank the monitor (and appear put it into standby) - no response to keyboard.
*It only seems to be running a web browser which provokes this*
The Windows event viewer only shows an unexpected shutdown.
I have a gut feeling that the graphics adaptor may be the problem, Gainward NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS and have ordered a replacement.
No other application seems to provoke the symptoms, but running a web browser inevitably does.
Any insight would be appreciated
