    Hi, I have an inspiron 6400, 2 years old,
    i've almost always worked with an external screen (samsung 721s), as an extended screen and it worked fine.

    recently, every time i try to disconnect it (in any way possible) i get a blue screen. I did format my hardrive about 2 months ago, but its not the first time.

    any advise?
    thanks

    Edan
