    I just got my xps and just got done formating. I cant get the nvidia sites drivers to install or xtreme-g mobileforce drivers to work. What do I have to do to be able to use other drivers besides dells?

    I downloaded the mobileforce xtreme-g and got a BSOD, maybe the older version will work better ?

    Is there no way to use the drivers off nvidias site?
