A few days ago when not using the computer it suddenly crashed and the screen go kinda **** up showing red och green stripes all over and only 4 colors and the resolution got set to 600*480. I restarted the computer but the screen still showed different graphic errors and only 4 colors and 600*480. I can still log in to windows and everything works fine except for the graphics. The graphic is like that even before windows has launched,<BR /><BR />When I look in the devicemanager there is a yellow triangle over the graphic card and I get the error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"<BR /><BR />I have tried reinstalling different drivers but nothing seems to work...the strange thing is that maybe every 10th time I restart the computer everything works fine for maybe 5-10min and then it crashes again <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span><BR /><BR />Is there any chance this is not hardware related or do I have to get a new graphic card?</P> Wed, 20 May 2015 13:48:58 GMT johan_stahl 2015-05-20T13:48:58Z https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/broken-graphic-card-or-software-problems/m-p/138027#M54900 <P>Hi, I have a VGN-FZ21Z with the nvidia geforce 8600M GS graphic card.
