My Computer just went Mental!!!Help!!

Hey guys,

I recently got this really annoying error that bugs the crap out of me..I was playing some Witcher 2 right and all of the sudden this happened;



When this happens my game gets frozen and sometimes even worse - The coloration of the screen goes from what you see on the screen to a burst of colors like paint being thrown right into the screen, which after that my screen goes black then it auto-restarts itself, and I even got a DPC_Watchdog_Violation one time..I've also tried other games from Final Fantasy 14, Star Citizen, Killing Floor basically any game's I throw at it that isn't browser goes mental.

What annoys me more is that I never downloaded nor did anything before it started apart from boot up witcher 2..So really what I want to ask you guys is if you can help me out. Do you know what this is and how I can fix it?

Any suggestion will really help me out

Thank you ~

This guy here has the same problem as you apparently.

There is probably something wrong with your VGA. The only way you can be sure of that is either try the VGA with another pc or use another one on your pc. If the VGA is fine try to run a memtest to see if the Ram is faulty.

Hope this helps and let us know the results.

the easyest is
update the drivers
replace the hdmi/dvi-d/vga cable

if this does not solve it:
use a different screen as testing
if a different screen ahs the same error its the video-card, replace that one
