Windows 10: Infrequent crashing over the last few days - possible graphics card related but unsure....

Over the past few days I've been having random crashes, which have been occurring when playing League of Legends. It seems to me that it is perhaps something to do with when an application is 'full screen'.


There are two types of behaviours exhibited when these crashes occur, one is a complete loss of functionality, with my two monitors going all pixelated and multi-coloured in rainbow colours. And the second is that the screens will freeze completely, but it's like everything in the background is still running, such as music playing and voice comms etc.


I thought initially it might be due to Nvidia drivers being out of date and i'd also read about Razer peripherals causing problems, but I updated these yesterday and everything seemed to be running fine. Over previous days I've seen 'Hardware failure' in Reliability Monitor but since updating these drivers I haven't seen any hardware failures, but simply rather a 'Windows stopped working' event.


If anybody can assist I would appreciate that greatly.

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
