I thought software issues would necessarily give me some error like BS, but not freeze the entire Os, I thought modern OSes didnt even let software afect that low level stuff needed to do something like that.not really. i can produce an nvidia driver bug easily in XP. the result would be a freeze or a black screen.
I try reinstalling it this weekend.
the cause? xp drivers handle the vram horribly and my vram just gets overloaded. all hail vram leaks at driver level?
btw, i do fear its hardware. but could be software(drivers)
