My new Graphics card is not installed its the basic one on the mother board as the 2 graphics cards kept interferring with each other (dont know how to disable the one on the motherboard) , my screen would just start up saying "out of range", when I installed the decent graphics card, i since found out is because the motherboard graphics card kept installing itself automatically becuase windows found it was there and it clashed with the new graphics card so the PC did not know which graphics card to use. Again not sure how to disable the motherboard one. I want my new graphics card set up so I can almost 100% say its either the fan or the fan where the compound is if it is not malware. As I say it just shuts itself off.

If the Chip or Graphics Card are overheating then there will almost definatly not be a BSOD.
If the graphics card is overheating then there is a good chance there will be graphical artifacts on the screen, or random locking up just before it reboots/wierd characters appearing.
Sounds to me like its the CPU 95% graphics card 5%
Thanks JJ, i get no strange graphics, just Shuts itself off without warning. |

Whatever it is, at least you don't have as many trojan viruses, spoof anti-virus software and rootkits as herthab's kiddy porn laptop.

I had a problem with my computer showing BSOD almost every time I played video's, or left it on for more than 3/4hours, for a few months. After spending some time updating drivers, checking connections, installing and uninstalling flash I decide to clean the filth from the inside. 5 minutes of dusting and vacuuming later and I've not had a problem since!

Interestingly enough I put my new video card in the PC and it never shut off once.... maybe the video card on the mother board is shot. Only downside is, my computer graphics cards seem to be conflicting wiht each other, this is likely down to me not uninstalling the old graphics card before putitng the new one in, so I can easily resolve this, but how do I disable the motherboard graphics card? The graphics card has a fan on it (the new one), and I have a new PC fan on order so I am leaning towards the graphics card being knackered or something as its over heating, THat said I've only had it a few months.

You don't normally need to uninstall the onboard graphics, the PC will just output via both which is usually no problem.
You could disable the onboard graphics in device manager. Note I said disable not uninstall, otherwise you'll cause yourself a whole world of shit if your graphics cards goes tits up in the future.

You don't need to uninstall or disable anything on the "on board graphics" the new grahics Card will over ride it. When you say you are having conflicts....what exactly do you mean? |

My computer comes screen comes back saying "out of reange" which is a nightmare and I have to re-start my computer and remove the graphics card to get it working again... |

out of range error means you are trying to display a picture thats is too high a setting for your monitor to cope with mate.
Your monitor will have a max resolution 800x600 - 1280x800 - 1024x768 (as I know its an old monitor) and your system is set to display a setting higher than that, uninstall the graphics card driver (new one) reboot the pc, then let it set itself automatically.
That should do it.

Or the refresh rate is set too high......70hz on a 60hz monitor.
If it only does it in certain games etc then the game screen resolution settings are fucked and need to be reset.
