Hi, I have a Gateway P-6860 FX Laptop, although it says 6831-FX in the dxdiag, I will post that info below. I was playing starcraft 2 earlier today when all of a sudden it crashed. I got a popup saying "Nvidia Driver stopped responding and has recovered." Now I am getting all these red lines (sometimes they're blue, green... but mostly red) on the screen and it's acting very weird, I took some pictures I can upload them and post a link to them, if that might help but I'll have to get them off my camera first. I just tried installing the latest Nvidia Driver (285.62)I am using windows vista 64 bit and I've had the laptop for 2-3 years now, never had this problem until now. Could this be that something has fried inside? What can I do to try and fix this? I just tried installing new Nvidia Driver When I click on the Nvidia Control Panel (Nvidia settings) in the taskbar I get a popup saying "Nvidia Display settings are not available, you are currently using a display attached to a NVIDIA GPU. I hope this doesn't mean something is fried, I don't really have money for a new comp anytime soon, is there anything I can try to resolve it?
Here's a copy of my dxdiag, maybe this, along with my other symptoms and information will be enough for someone to tell me what is going on here and hopefully a way to fix it. For some reason it doesn't have any information for the Display:
