I9400 Go7800 xTreme G Driver Crash

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hey Guys,
Please excuse the long post. I am trying to give as much details in order to determine the issue.
I'm having a problem with my Inspiron 9400. Until recently everything was working fine. I had installed the xtreme G 82.XX drivers and ran the system with the tweaked drivers auto overclocking the Go 7800 and everything worked fine. I installed a copy of Counter Strike Source and noticed that when changing the video settings, Specifically when changing the resolution the system would BSOD and crash causing a reboot during transition to the resolution. Most times I could re-enter the Game (CS:S) and readjust the settings and it would work fine. I did notice that the video seemed slugglish.
I removed the xTreme G Mobile Force (version 82.XX) drivers and attempted to reinstall the xTreme G Mobile Force (version 84.56-v2.40) and it would BSOD once entering the desktop. I entered Safe Mode and first attempted to create another User and found with a new user account caused the same issue. So I backed up my files and decided to reinstall the OS, the first install I did the factory restore and everything seemed fine, until I attempted to installed the tweaked drivers. The same BSOD happed and the system rebooted and could no longer reach the desktop with out crashing. I removed the tweaked drivers and the problem went away.
Next I installed XP from the Microsoft Xp distribution disk and installed all drivers from scratch. Again the xTreme G drivers caused the BSOD crash. I have since removed the eXtreme G drivers and installed the factory Dell drivers and it now works.
My question is are any other users with the I9400/E1705 having this issue?
Here is a digital picture of the BSOD error message. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just got them installed. So far so good for me too. I got a 200 point gain in 3dmark 05 from 7200 to 7400. No gain in 3dmark06. I haven't tried any games yet tho.
