M170 help! Video Driver problem?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi Everyone.

This is my first post. I got my m170 Friday. I got it running and everything was fine. I was playing GW and all of a sudden, the computer locks up and gives me a blue screen saying window needs to shut down to prevent damage to the system. It points to the NV4_disp. I tried to reintall the driver from Dell, Nvidia and everytime it will lock up as soon as the driver is installed. I also reinstall window. No luck. It is fine without the driver. I am confused if the graphic card is the problem or the driver. Please help. By the way, the computer rocks.

Make sure you follow a sensible procedure when you change video drivers. I suggest you uninstall your current video drivers, reboot, run driver cleaner (http://www.drivercleaner.net/), reboot again and install newer drivers, and then reboot again.

This should sort your problem.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I have done that too.
