    Hey everyone, I'm constantly getting the BSOD memory dump screen while in sleep mode ONLY. It seems to just randomly happen while my computer is sleeping, never while fully powered on. This happens about every 3-4 times I put the computer to sleep. Any idea on what's going on?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720
    T7300
    3GB Ram
    Vista
    8600M GT

    I've updated it a couple times, could you tell me how I can find out?

    I went into DXDiag and it says version: 7.15.0011.5669 (English) if that helps at all.

    Open your start menu, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". It'll be under "Windows edition".

    It sounds like a graphics driver problem. :swoon:

    Try some other versions...

    It just says Windows Vista Business so I assume I haven't.
