All i did was change my driver, but this was the same error before I did that.
I got assistance from Dell chat online. We went through many steps to figure out the problem, the system restore didnt work so we did a few other tests. Seems the problem was with the hard drive, after doing a diagnostic test on the hard drive and getting a few errors Dell decided to mail me a new hard drive, should be coming soon, i dont know if they are sending someone to set it up for me or doing it myself.
This still does not solve my problem though. I want to know why my system crashed to begin with. This is what happened.
I bought a PC game Command & Conquer 3 and I instantly had problems with the game running. I checked my requirements and I noticed I had an outdated Driver, I got a new one and the game ran fine for a little bit. Then the same error started happening again, something saying "Direct3D Error (Out Of Memory)" I ran all my direct3D test in dxdiag, everything was setup exactly how it should have been and all tests passed. I downloaded a new Driver again to see if that would do anything and changed my game to run through a window instead of the whole screen. A few games later my screen started flickering black and soon enough I got the Direct3D error but this time when I restarted the computer I got the blue screen error and that was the end of my computer.
I would like to try to install this game again when I get my new hard drive. I dont think the game itself is corrupted. Any thoughts of how this could have happened?
