Thanks I'm over the worst of it, I think.

Did you fix your issues Randy?

Not as of yet. Came home from work one night, all was fine....put it to sleep, and then the next morning I got a repeating pop-up

Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 191.07 has stopped responding and has recovered

and after about the third time the display goes blank and I can't do anything. I've tried rolling back the driver, and updating to the newest driver, but even in safe mode the screen is all funky. I'm wondering at this point if the old 8600GT is dying on me or not.

Hi Randy,

Have you tried installing a new driver?
GEFORCE 280.26 DRIVER

Navigated from NVIDIA Driver Downloads

Uninstall the old driver first, then install the new one.

If that doesn't help, then re-seat the graphics card. Clean if needed, check the fan.

Check with another graphics card if you have or can borrow one.

Hi Dave,
I'm pretty sure that is the driver I got, and I did get it from Nvidia's page, but I did not uninstall the old one first. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.....thanks for your suggestions!

Today I was wake up by earthquake from 4/5 Richter scale. It was almous 2 seconds,and my whole house was vibrating... :)
Everything is good now.

That's a bad thing I hate earthquakes !!

Yes,we don't have earthquakes here.. In my 20 years I can't remember that we have some stornger,I remember only 2-3 but they was weak.

We get them semi regular here. Usually like to sit still to get the whole effect. In my 50+ years, only the Loma Prieta quake (6.9) made me think about running outside (did). A Guy

Status report.....
OK, got the new driver installed just fine, and it made no difference. Pulled the case out, and the card is securely in place , and the fan is spinning freely. I've never removed a graphics card, and this is is securely enough in position that I did not try to remove it.

So, it looks like I will be without it for a while....in a week or so my father will be visiting my aunt and uncle, and bringing my sister's computer to my uncle, and now it appears he'll be bringing my computer too. I don't know if he'd be able to get both done in the couple of days that my dad will be there, so I guess this little computer will be my primary unit for a while.
Good thing I have it though....or I'd be using the ancient XP dinosaur that makes this netbook look awesome.
