    I bought a Inspiron 1545 in the outlet section, got it for $420 with a coupon I got off ebay.

    I got the laptop and I absolutely love it! But there is a problem, the graphics card driver keeps crashing, this is an annoying problem and I think it might progressively get worse, so I'm worried.

    My options so far that I can think of are:

    Do a complete OS reinstall (can I use my dell cdkey to reinstall vista?)

    Send it in to get fixed, if that's the case, what kind of fixing will they do?

    Thanks.!

    Hope you get it resolved, I've got a 1545 on the way so I hope mine is not affected.
