Hi Everyone, Not only is this a problem .. I thought that it was an impossibility!? I have had this pc for over two years. It's the media center edition built upon xp pro. It has Always had the Nvidia GeForce 6200 TurboCache display adapter. I have all of the hardware specs that came with it and I have two or three copies, (made on different dates) of Belarc Advisors audits which also show that I am not nuts. Not only does Belarc show this hardware change .. Everest does too! Both of them couldn't be wrong and most especially .. at the same point in time? Well, All of that has changed, sometime within the last few days! When I pulled up the properties menu earlier and clicked on adapter, it showed Nvidia GeForce 6100!? I went directly to Belarc Advisor and to my dismay .. It now shows the 6100. What Possible way could this have happened? Hardware just doesn't changed by itself, does it? I've also experienced a lot of Explorer, Firefox and Opera shutdowns along with other shutdowns like the computer shutting itself down and re-booting. To protect itself? Thats what the message says whenever it does this. My monitor display colors have been pretty bad too. I just can't figure this one out and I've never seen anyone else post this kind of problem before. Thanks Everyone, MrClose P.S. I have Tons of error reports in my event viewer, most of them dealing with a faulting application and/or module. A driver I assume? These #'s seem to have a part in it: (version numbers) 5.1.2600 and 5.1.2600.2180 Application: drwtsn32.exe Faulting Module:dbghelp.dll Fault address: 0x0001295d THIS Stuff might as well be written in Greek! Why is it that lawyers and Pc Geeks can't speak or write in plain ole everyday language? LOL Twice I tried to start the pc and got a blue screen using Lots of Greek and telling me They saved my pc by shuting down and Dumping memory!
