    Hi forum,

    For 2 weeks now i have been trying to figure out what the problem is with my laptop. ok this is what happened... BEFORE the problem began

    Was playing on a game, and randomly my computer refreshed itself and ended up on a BLUE SCREEN, for 5 seconds, then restarted the computer by itself, for a while it struggled to load the dell logo screen, but i fixed that by repairing the windows.

    Right now, i can go onto my windows desktop and allthings for a short time of 5-10 minutes. then my screen will suddenly go black, and i cant do nothing, my computer is still on when it does this. so all i can do is switch it off.

    I have been puzzled and hopeing i can get this fixed ASAP. are there any routes and advice you can give me to help me fix this problem. I am assuming its my video card. Monitor seems to be ok. Help please :(

    my computer specs are.

    XPS M1730 CORE 2 DUO T9500 2.60GHz
    DUAL SLI 512MB NVIDIA 8800GTX
    4GB HARD DRIVE
