Anyone still running Windows 7?
in Software ·
Hey everyone
So here’s the deal... I was running Windows 7 Ultimate for a long time, but eventually, my product key started acting up. I just ignored it and kept cruising along until my PC started dying mid-game. I couldn't get through even five minutes of gameplay without everything crashing. I'd get those "ATI drivers stopped and recovered" errors, and if I tried to jump back in, the whole thing would just freeze. It's definitely not an overheating issue. I did a fresh install of Windows, but the same thing keeps happening—now it just freezes and restarts during basic tasks. Sometimes the screen goes black, other times it turns pink, or the colors just go totally haywire. Like, blue turns to pink out of nowhere. Now I'm stuck wondering if it's just a driver glitch or if my GPU is officially toast.
Thanks in advance! :-)
