    Hi,

    I have the XPS M1710 with the 7950 gtx GPU.
    About a week ago i got a parity error where it then stopped giving no display what so ever.

    Thankfully i was able to find somebody who repairs in GPU repair. They repaired the fault and said it was the CPU on GPU that had the problem.

    I am trying to work out how my 18 month laptop developed this fault and wanted to know if anybody else has tried these drivers on the same setup or experiencing the same problem?

    Also does DOX drivers OC the GPU by default since this is not something i want done?

    I use DOX drivers because of the GTA 4 texture fix.

    I also regularly clean the fans out and reapply Thermal paste which keeps it at 50c under normal use.
