Re: Need Computer help
Yup, that's exactly why. Install the video driver and it'll all be fixed.

Re: Need Computer help
My smooth scrolling is on, so I think it is a driver issue.

Only reason I think it is wacked out is because I am just comparing my scrolling to what it was before when I bought the computer. Currently it is very choppy and it seems odd. It is hard to explain. I think my roomie agrees its a driver issue, but I will check into that.

Re: Need Computer help
Well I got a driver for my video card and things are looking good right now.
My Anti-virus is gonna run out in 15 days so I need a good free one. I heard the one AOL is letting people have for free is good. Someone told me it the same as some other software, but AOL just bought the rights to it. Said it was top notch, anyone else here about this?

Re: Need Computer help
Hey guys, my computer still freezes....
 It is just happening less, but still occurs. So does that mean something is physically wrong with the computer? Maybe a fan or corrupted memory. God I hate this sooo much.

Re: Need Computer help
Ok so it froze up again. What it did this time is the fan in the computer started making a louder noise and when I tried to move the mouse it would not work. Then I tried to get to windows task manager, and the computer gave me that ugly beep when it is pissed off at you for doing something wrong.
I dont know if my memory is overloading because once earlier today it did the same thing but I put the computer on standby, and it would not let me log back in because it said the memory usage was too high or something. And just now before it froze up the PF usage on the Windows task manager wasn't above halfway, so I don't get it. I totally cleaned the computer so I don't really have anything on it beside my music, documents, AIM, Itunes, antivirus, Mozilla with adblocker-plus. What can I do?

Thanks for the help bud, but I think my warranty just expired. I have no idea what to do. Maybe that BIOS update might help.
