Petay Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hey all, Ok so i am posting this thread because i have been getting a very annoying and frustrating error from my computer recently, and i hope someone here will know how to fix it . Right, so recently, after upgrading my video card and RAM, ive noticed not only that Norton Anti-virus doesn't seem to want to virus-scan things, but also that my PC has got itself an annoying habit of turning itself off then back on again straightaway . Whenever it reboots itself, it comes up with a message on the windows help page; saying "This error has been caused by a device driver" :confused: If anyone can help, it will be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petay Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 I see. I will think about that, but will that fix my so called "device driver" problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokishi Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) No, the the "device driver" problem is a conflict, make sure you removed the old drivers before putting in the new ones. This is espicially a problem when switching from ATI to Nvidia or vice versa. Edited October 16, 2005 by Bokishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petay Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Right, so i guess i'll be taking it back to the PC store again to get it fixed again then . Thanks for your help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
