Title: Two problems.
Post by: [LSR]Ride on January 14, 2012, 11:20:47 am: Hi.

I'm suffering from two problems and I though maybe I can find a solution for them in here.

1. Sometimes when I go into the main menu of GTA SA, my computer freezes and gives me a completely black screen. What could cause this? Maybe my video card is damaged?

2. Watching videos in Youtube freezes my computer. After a few seconds, it gives me a blue screen and my computer restarts. I've read that Adobe Flash Player could cause this problem, but I'm not sure. Any solutions for that type of problem?

Thanks.

Also be sure temperature of video chip is not higher than 80C cause 9800GT models were wellknown as really heat cards.

Alright.

I found something while I was checking my Device Manager.

Says that I haven't got any drivers installed for the device. I wonder how did that happen.

Post by: [LSR]Ride on January 14, 2012, 02:25:44 pm: Seems like Youtube isn't crashing my computer anymore. GPU temp is 42C. I will see if GTA SA still crashes. But anyways thanks for your assistance! :)
