Hi I hope you will be able to advise me.

I have been having probs with my PC freezing or going to a black screen for a few seconds or so when I try and open a document or surf the web. It seems to only happen for a few minutes once I start up the PC and settles down then.

I think it may be related to the Graphics Accelerator but am not sure. I have to go to Properties etc ad move the Hardware acceleration to the right,

Can someone explain if a PC comes with separate Graphics card or is it built in to the CPU and how can I determine if it is a graphic problem

Sorry to be confusing

Many thanks in anticipation
:confused: :confused:
 
On some motherboards the Graphics card is on board. Open your computer and have alook :) see where your VGA cable goes if its external which it probbly is. Try re-seating it and see if its in properly, then run DirectX and run some diagnostics see what comes up :)
 
What are the specs of your pc? It sounds like its under a bit stress when its first booting up, because your system will be loading AV products etc at startup. I wouldnt worry about it if it only happens for a few mins when booting up.

Hi and thanks for the reply but can you explain what the VGA cable is please. My computer knowledge is not the best lol I am a thick Yorkie lol ;)
 
Its the cable connecting your moinitor to your PC. It has 2 screwy things at the back
