pavilion dv5 display crashing issue - please help

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop which is just over a year oldand seems to have developed a serious display problem since I bought it.

I have only started using the HDMI port on this model since around october and notice I often get a terrible bug when using it.

i can be watching somethin gon a monitor via hdmi or simply have something connected to it and at random the screens (laptop and external) flicker on and off. I get the popup speech bubble style error in the taskbar saying a "Device Driver has Stopped Working"

Sometimes it recovers but most of the time the screen crashes as does any audio or anything else playing and a scattered mixed up mess of a screen gets locked into view. The only thing i can do then is restart the device.

problem is I dont know how or what driver I need to replace or how to fix this. Any advice?

System info:
Pavilion dv51112ea
AMD Turion X2 Mobile ZM-82 2.2GHz
4GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

Tried picking up the graphic driver from HP support site. But that pic there is not a good sign.

One can try cleaning out the inside as well.
