Thanks for the welcome and for replying.
The pc was crashing regardless of what I was doing on it. My son does play pc games on it or should I say was.
I can't think of anything different that I was doing on the pc that made it start acting up.
I only use the pc for surfing the web. I hadn't installed any new programs or components either.
This is why a friend suggested updating the drivers as this might solve the problem.
However that was not the case and its totally wrecked my screen display instead.
If I was to run the windows disc over the top of my current windows installation and click repair, would all my files and folders etc be safe? or will they be erased?
