    Hi

    I recently brought a M1730 with 3 years warranty.

    T9300 CPU
    4Gb Ram
    2x 9800m GT graphics
    2x 160Gb HDD

    I need some advice as im having a few problems....

    I seem to be having graphics card problems from changing drivers to latest NVIDIA. Screen goes black in windows, then I get windows recovered from serious driver issue. Then when restarted it has a black screen.....

    So I reinstalled and used DELL drivers and put the Nvidia Phys X drivers and I thought the 9800M was able to do phys x? But same issues......

    Now I have reinstalled again without using the Phys x and it seems to be working ok so far.....


    Help?????????????????

    Nope its nothing to do with phys x

    Its just a dud laptop... Its going back!

    You use it for hour and a half and it starts freezing in windows... Reboot and its a black screen.... No POST.. Then if you tap it, it suddenly POSTS.


    FFS why does this always happen to me.
