U can hear the sound and evrything but you cant see anything except black screen.Now when i click the mouse or any key the sound stops and my computer freezes,does any1 know wot myt be wrong with this?
Note:the dvd rom is new.Dyu think there myt be wrong with it?coz when i used it to install another software it also made my comp freeze.

If you have an Nvidia card go to thier site and DL the latest driver. If not find the manufacturers site and get the latest driver from them. From time to time Microsoft will give you an update that fouls up you video driver. Get the latest and you should be fine.

Best of luck.

Especially in the graphics department, games are very demanding on a system. You need to have something above the requirements listed for the product.

What NVidia chipset are you using? 5800 up?
Was the other application that locked up alos configured to use 3D Graphics? Have you updated video drivers?

What were you installing that made the machine freeze? Or are you saying the using the optical drive is making your system freeze?
