    BSOD for Geforce 8400gs

    Ahhh, well I just decided I'll get a different one. A Lenovo Ideacentre became available to me if I trade away this Dell. i figured that's a better deal considering the Ideacentre is double the processor speed and could support higher upgrades :P. Thank you all so much for trying to help me

    If the BSOD dump file doesn't list any problems doesn't that point to hardware though? I dont have anyway to get a vista install disc, so anything I can do without wiping the system would be preffered. A little more information I got from "WhoCrashed"

    Well the problem only arises WHEN the Nvidia drivers are actually on, I can use the card as a standard VGA device.. wouldn't that be software related then?

    Yep very first thing I checked time/date and windows updates. plus went to dell website for further updates. Thought I'm guessing if my PCIe slot went out it wouldnt even let me use the monitor on the card without the drivers installed

    As for the replacement I've sent it back already once thinking it was broken.. same problem. perhaps my pcie slot is burnt out?

    Alright, I will try the new beta driver it's the only one I havent yet. and resetting the card. Though I have the latest drivers for everything else.

    I'm pretty sure it's an Intel Chipset and Dell told me that this computer is PCIe 2.0 Compliant

    well I do have a 400w with the right amperage in it now. I'll try one last time. but as I recall it did the same thing with that supply

    I tried using a higher power supply. Same problem so that wouldn't be it. this one has an upgraded 300w compatible supply on it. As for Drivers, intel and dell's auto update systems both said I was up to date.
