I have a Dell Inspiron 1501. This is my 2nd after replacing the 1st. I am
now experiencing the same problems with the new as I did with the 1st.
While working on my computer or playing games, my screen display will
"disappear" and be replaced with one of two things. Either a black screen
with a 1x1 inch square (randomly placed on the screen) which looks like a
barcode or a very nicely colored striped wallpaper. My computer also stops
working (freezes). The only lights working are the power light and the WiFi
light.
I can only fix the problem by pushing the power button. The computer starts
normally and will state the computer did not shut off correctly how would I
like to proceed (or whatever it says).
This problem happens after a few hours of it being on. It mainly happens as
I am working and I lose all information I was working on. Dell's solution is
to reload Vista. I was hoping there was an easier solution.
