Re: Problem With Video Card driver. Windows Vista

I upgraded to the driver: NVIDIA MCP67M Graphics/Video Driver (from HP) Version: 7.15.11.5671 ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37860.exe but unfortunately I still the "Video hardware error" showing up in the problem history list in Vista. I had opened a call with HP to return my laptop for service so I will follow through on that. I'm not optimistic they'll actually be able to repair it but will let you know if a few weeks when I get it back.

Re: Problem With Video Card driver. Windows Vista

I seem to now have resolved the problem, fingers crossed.

 

To relieve the frustration i bought myself a sexy Sony for Christmas, the HP is now my backup PC

 

After buying a replacement I returned the HP to the shop that I bought it from, and they replaced the mother board again

 

It came back with a really poor screen resolution and a perfomance index of 1 (previously 4,7). The screen driver was the windows one and had a performance index of 1.0 , so I updated it and now the resolution is perfectly okay

 

It remains to be seen how long the situation remains stable, at the moment I am busy copying the files I had not backed up over to the new Sony

 

This has taken three months for me to resolve
