    I did a fresh install of windows 7 on my laptop. I then got a DELL engineer from the software team to do a drivers install.
    But the screen on full resolution has problems. When I turn on the laptop and log in the screen gets all weird and flickers and shows grey lines and itÂ’s very hard to use.
    To resolve this I press the sleep button and then turn it back on.
    I have intel 3000 graphics and nvidia graphics driver 332.21

    that could well be the start of a dying graphics card.

    what nvidia card have you got?
