Breakfast at 1pm? Lucky for some :)

0x00000A errors are usually memory related, either GPU or RAM. As PaulH has arranged a new GPU for you, hopefully this will fix the issue. If not we're always here to help.

Yeah i assumed this was the case as i received similar BSOD's and thought it was a problem with my RAM/MOBO :)

Reinstallign might solve it for awhile but if its a hardware issue then no it wont :( sorry

If the computer is crashing continuously there are a few temporary solutions you could try:

1. Removing some of the memory modules (you have 4 installed).
2. Installing some older VGA drivers or un-installing the VGA drivers.

We will dispatch the new card to you on Monday so you should be back up and running on Tuesday.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

wow i have so many problems :( okay latest news... i downloaded a tool to check my drivers and apparently i have 21 out of date or corrupt drivers.

you have to buy the program for it to update your drivers but it costs 20 quid :/ does anyone have something that does it for free?

DONT buy or use that program and un-install it asap, more often than not these are just trash/ spyware programs to swindle money out of you, all you as a customer need to do is download the latest graphics driver when they are released, windows update will pretty much cover everything else.

i put my gpu back in because blue screening every 5 seconds is worse than getitng the lines every few hours... reinstalled all the drivers and i dont seem to be having any problems.

if i go through 24 hours fine i mite not need that new gpu
