Ok I did all that and when I clicked on rollback drivers it said that there was no driver back up to roll back to. I don't get it. I hate being stupid.

Well, you could restore you system back to an earlier date using system restore. Or you can go ahead and download the XP driver from Dell's website.
Let me know if you want to try the first if the download takes too long.

Ok, thanks for all your help. The Dell guy had me do a system restore back to two days ago. So hopefully that took care of it. It hasn't happened since then. But they had worked on it last night too and it did it again today so I don't know and won't know if its fixed for a while. Again thanks for all your help, and will you be available to help me when I get my Vista Upgrade???

Duuude, ya shoulda got a Mac.Mousebaby said:I have gotten a blue screen three times that says:
Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity check/ Memory parity error
The system has halted
What does this MEAN???
I'm freaking out, Dell has only had me do a system restore to two days ago. Why do I have a feeling that this is something major and they're treating it like its not?
HELP ME!!!!!
TIA!

what about cleaning up your registry? I don't know if that would help, but it seems to fix a lot crap that was going wrong on my dell laptop, and it speeds it up.

You could have just booted into safe mode and taken care of the driver and saved yourself the rollback (most of the time this will clue you into whether you have a driver issue or an actual hardware failure, no BSOD in safe mode=most likely a driver). Lucky for you that yours had a recent restore point. On a side note though, I've found the video drivers put out by the manufacturer and not by Dell are much more stable and up to date (sometimes they offer alot more features too).

Yeah going with the video chipset maker is 99% better, and never trust MS Updates when they tell you a driver update is available .... I have a junior tech go out on a "Windows Update" call and ran everything , Criticals, Suggested, other ...... need less to I got a call to go back out the next day the " System " was hard locking up ... you would have to manually power it down and cold boot ..... a little research showed the "Update" was 51.xx and the latest then was 72.xx something - a significant roll back - i downloaded the new drivers from nVidia and all was well
