someone Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yesterday, when I was playing the game World of Warcraft my computer kept restarting itself and saying there is an error with my display driver. It says my display driver is not functioning properly and had to automatically restart, or it freezes my comp and I am forced to restart my computer anyways. (P.S. I was referred by Potato2k4 and he is the coolest guy ever!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
