Hi,
this seems to be a problem with your video card.
since you have recently installed windows on your computer, i guess you have not installed the graphics driver.
post the full specification of your comuter and we wll find the driver for you.

Exact same problem for me, except about a split second before it went into power save mode, was an 'exception error message' then power save that it won't come out of. Had to remove power to get a reboot. What fixed mine was replacing a defective DIMM.

Hi, I have the same problem except that it happens when I play any video fullscreen in Internet Explorer. It happens a lot with YouTube and Megavideo, but never with Windows Media Player or Realplayer or anything.
I presume it's some fault with my IE, but I don't know what to do about it.
Any help would be great.

Thanks.

This could realted to power distribution on the board as well. Turn off and unplug your computer, take each card (PCI, AGP, PCI Express, Etc.) and reseat them. This can clear the issue most of the time, if not you might have a conflict between hardware devices, repeat the process, removing the cards again, but this time go it one at a time with a "boot" in between to narrow down the issue. The most common I have seen is with the desktops that have a wireless card installed with an antenna in the reart of the machine, over time, friction and movment and jar the card out of the slot on the board and kill your video and other devices until it is put back in place.



Good luck!

Unplug the computer from the wall. Hold the power button for 10 seconds or so. plug the computer back on. Turn it on again. It worked for me, hope it works for you.
