HI
i wanna know why pc hangs every time i start a game.and when it hangs keyboard doesnt work the only thing i can do is to restart my pc. also when i'm watching clips or any video..... there are some problems and i cant see well, i mean the pc doesnt show it well.and there are some colored points on the screen alwaysand when it hangs my monitor turns to black and the turn off/on switch turns to yellow from green(i mean it goes to stand by mode)
i have the lastest driver for my VGA and dont think it's for overheating cuase this will happen even after 10 hours that pc was off.
would be pleased if u answer me.

here is my system:
Geforce 7900gt 256
1Gb ram
AMD athalon 64x2 dual core processor 3600+
450W power
XP SP2

thx a lot

Hmm, well your in luck because for the past 3 months ive had the same problem ive had two 7900GT's "die" on me. The cloured points on your sceen are corrupt coloured pixels. Do you see the coloured pixels on the POST screen (displays hardware when you first turn your pc on).
Nvidia have released a few faulty 7900GT cards i would check to see if you have your warranty and return the product to Nvidia and they will send a replacement card.
