Hi, me again, in here, sorry
...but need some advice.
I know I've got driver issues ...hell, who with Vista doesn't? And I'm mostly getting around it by gritting my teeth. I've done my best to make sure everything is up to date, but a couple of things are REALLY bugging me.
No1 issue: My monitor sometimes flickers and makes a fizzling sound. That seems obvious that that is a problem with the monitor. But it also just cuts off every now and then, (mostly when i start a game, or media player). It just instantly reduces itself to about 5% output. I can very faintly see windows working fine, but it is mostly blackness. So I wonder whether this is likely to be a fault with the monitor, or a graphics driver, or maybe even the power supply. I feel it is the monitor, and so maybe someone in the know could tell me if that sounds right, or maybe check something else.
No2 issue: I get messages telling me i have problems with my network connection when i try to activate it. Again, i've looked for drivers (but this area is baffling for me) so not done much more than the click here for updates thing. After a few months of clicking everything clickable trying to get it working every time i want to log on, I've worked out that by disabling the network device, and then enabling it again, it will work fine. That's all i need to do to log on (!) Annoys me that it is so simple. So does this sound like a driver issue? Or more like i cocked up the setting up of the network device/s?
I tried to be brief, sorry if long read, and also if i haven't told you something important, please ask.
Help much appreciated.
