Hello to everyone at the tech support forums! I come to you with a grand query about my laptop. Recently I was enjoying a game of Team Fortress 2 on this computer, however about 15 minutes into playing my whole screen immediately turned an ugly pink color with my mouse turning into a nasty white pixel floating around the screen and eventually freezing with ingame sound constantly repeating as though it were frozen. From there I could do nothing but power off my system with the power button. Upon rebooting I was able to access IE for about 5 minutes until the same screen started appearing. Long story short, I tried to boot 2-3 more times with the same results. I have discovered that the computer can run fine without any drivers installed, however this is a large problem for me as I am an avid gamer. Once I try to re-install any type of driver (I've tried 3 already) the computer either can't boot up, or a multitude of dots appear all over the screen with the pink screen of death instantly following. If anyone knows what kind of situation I'm in I would love to hear about it, it is a very odd conundrum for me, but if anyone could confirm that it might be a graphics card failure or something along those lines that would be great... or not so great for me
Anyway, sorry for the long first post and thank you for replies!
