OK. First off, it's NOT a problem with the NVIDIA driver. I can tell that because you're actually using the intel driver. If you have an NVIDIA device available (either as your only graphics device or as a secondary card), then you have a bigger problem. > > With your indulgence and my apologies for the length of the files, here > they are: Thanks. I ran smartctl on the hard drive, and it is OK. I am a newbie. I hope that I am correct, but you said that the hard drive might have problems. As per above, thankfully it is healthy. Your next comment was that there might be a problem with the video card. If that is true, I should replace the video card. What do you recommend? The computer is a IBM ThinkCentre M50 8189.
