Hello, today i opened my pc and after 10 minutes i got this blue screen of death: http://icrontic.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=28646&stc=1&d=1288696497
I pushed the reset button and then a blank appeared,nothing on the screen and my monitor went into stand by mode.I pushed reset button again and still the same.I turned off my pc and waited for 1 minute.I opened it again and everything was working fine.
Maybe my old graphics card is "dying" ?? I have an old pc, AMD 2,4ghz,3gb ram,XFX 7800GS,MSI K7N2 Delta mobo.I didn't have any blue screens till now.
I must also mention that sometimes when i open my pc,the graphics are "disturbed" in the very first screen only for 1 second and then are ok.But it doesn't do it all the time.I am looking forward for reply if someone had the same problem.

    That's an issue with your video for sure based on that BSOD. It could be that the card is dying or it could just be that your video drivers are messed up.

    Try booting up in VGA mode by rapidly hitting F8 after the first boot screens but before the Windows loading screens show up. The you should get to a list of options where you can choose from various boot up modes. Try VGA if it's there otherwise try safemode with network support. Then go to Nvidia and get the latest drivers for your card.
