I got a free laptop from family member because they couldn't fix the virusus it had.
It is a
md2614u gateway laptop
3gb of ram
ati radeon hd 3200
amd turion x2
When I got the computer it had vista premium loaded on it. It was crashing on the windows load up screen. I got a copy of XP and installed and booted from xp and it worked fine while I was trying to locate the drivers. The problem is, I do not think there are drivers for this system for XP (correct me if I am wrong) because the md2614u's all came from the factory preloaded with vista. So I installed vista premium back on and found the (supposedly correct) drivers on gateways website.
The system worked fine for a few months but has begun to freeze/black screen while playing some games or watching movies on neflix. I have reinstalled vista and tried multiple drivers for the GPU but none seem to be the correct ones. I know the problem has to be with the video card drivers!
I either need the correct drivers for Vista or I need drivers for XP, either will work. This has been a major pain in the **** trying to locate the right drivers. Anyone that knows where to find the drivers or what else could be causing this problem would be greatly appreciated.
