Major issues

Tos · 18 Jul 2016

Hey guys, so I am only 15 so I am not the best with computers, but I am pretty good. So I've had so many issues with this thing its unreal. Probs had to reset from scratched about 5-7 times so far. So, when i first got it reset this time, everything was great, then my monitors used to have like a pink glint over it so i just turned my monitor off and on and that seem to fix it. A few weeks later, after I had turned my computer on for the first time of the day, everytime, the game would crash and give me a kernel error 3 with my graphics driver. Once I got the error, I opened the game and it ran fine till I turned my pc off and restarted the cycle the next day. a few more weeks past and my recording software, action, was acting up and locking my fps at 45 any game while recording, then that really triggered me and this is why im here. Now here is the last reason that just happened today, randomly, all throughout the day, my computer will black screen and say kernel error or will buzz and freeze and wont recover from this buzzing freeze so I have to restart my computer about 11 times a day. Now this computer gives me a different issue every time I factory reset it so idk i might need to build a new one. Goodbye alienware. but for now I dont have the money to buy parts so if you guys have some kind of remedy for this let me know as soon as possible. THANKS!!!!

Tos, in your first post you said goodbye alienware. Would it be safe to assume you have an alienware computer and your graphics card came with the computer when you bought it? If so, try the following, if not please let me know. The problems you are having seem to be graphics related. Let's try to go to the alienware site and download their latest driver for you machine and put it on your desktop. Then uninstall all of your graphics drivers, making sure that the graphics driver is the last one you uninstall. Next follow this tutorial cleaning all your left over drivers with DDU just be sure you only select Nvidia Display and nothing else. When you reboot, install the new drivers you downloaded from Dell. See if that works any better for you.

Also, could you tell me the size PSU you have and how many watts and amps? If you can, I would like to know how many amps on the +12V. it should be on a sticker on the side of the PSU.
