    Hi guys, I have an alienware m17x r3 for over a year,few weeks for throwing me a blue screen with error 0x00000116, nvkflt.sys.

    I'm going crazy, I removed and cleaned the gpu (580m), I've formatted my pc and installed several versions of drivers, and updates the system BIOS.

    But nothing is happening, after about 2-3 seconds of using the GPU.

    Any idea?

    Thanks mates.

    Nvkflt.sys is part of the Drivers.

    Boot into safe mode, remove all drivers using driver sweeper. Sounds like a corrupt driver ( did you just install over the top of other drivers?)

    Reboot and reinstall the latest drivers.

    You need to do a clean install of the video drivers and use the DELL ones to check how they work.

    Hi mate, you must enable the option to receive messages from other forum members.

    Go to MySettings > GeneralSettings > Messaging & Notification and enable Receive Email from Other Members

    when doing this for a private talk in Spanish if you want xD

    Hi. I've signed up to the forums for the exact same reason as the posters above but also can't find a way to send a PM, Luis. Could you drop me a message with what's needed to fix this please? In English? It would be amazingly appreciated. :)
