strange co-incidence
last week - mother -in law DELL home computer
the cursor would freeze for a few seconds - then all ok
shrugged it off
then today - on my home computer
(no files shared - not networked - NO connections)
I started getting random graphics card shut down
(ie monitors searching for signal)
and or
hundreds of miscolored pixels(using 2 LCD monitors)
ATI xx1800xl = no overclocking - Omega drivers (current)
and my mouse cursor would freeze
ran Task manager and saw spikes in CPU usage from 4 tp 90%
but NO process was identified - because even task manager was freezing
ran ad-adware and spy ware
no culprits
I am not a DL junkie - I keep close tabs ob my system
not heat related - I keep side of computer off and have a 9" fan blowing right in all the time
did a few reboots = mouse stopped freezing
still getting some pixel dust on the 2nd monitor
any ideas?
