Hey everyone,

I have had my custom pc for almost one month now, and I have found out that during this one month period, my graphic card DRIVER has actually "uninstalled itself" twice. I have no idea why, but whenever this happens - it's almost like the graphic card works fine untill you shut down the computer, then the next time you restart your computer, the graphics mess up. Btw I have a Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT.

Whenever the graphic card messes up, the little nvidia icon in the bottom right corner disappears, and I CANNOT change my graphics.. it always just resets back to 640 x 820 or w/e it was with 8 bits of graphic. No matter how much I try i cannot change it and the only solution is to re install the graphic card driver.

The first time, I just re-installed the driver no problem, but now this time two messages appear at regular intervals saying..

Ainap
Access violation at address 00000007. Read address 00000007.

AND

Ainap
EAccess violation

I do not want this to happen twice every month.. and I would really appreciate it if anyone would help me.

PS MY MSN MESSENGER STOPPED WORKING and it was working 3 hours ago.
