Frequent BSOD

Three crashes in 5 mins and I realise theres no BSOD - it goes fuzzy and reboots.

Did you restore your (hopefully) backed up drivers after re-install?.
FUZZY?!? Was there a slight distortion of the pixels?

Fuzzy = pixelated screen for 1 or 2 secs. Drivers are all availabl;e on Dell website, certainly re did some that seemed to need it.

sfcscanow reports windows resource protection did not find any integrity violation problems.

Including Display driver?

Will do it again

Hey Maverick,

Before I ask for any help, can you try this (after re-installing your drivers):
Boot the computer into safe mode (rapid press of F8 key at splash screen on boot) and see if your BSOD stops:

If you still get BSOD in safe mode then it most probable its hardware related. (leave in safe mode till BSOD occurs)
If it stops its more likely software/driver issues.

Cheers

Not really an option as have gone 2 x 2 hr spells with no crash today

May have been the driver updates that have reduced the crashes. However now getting a message at boot about Catalyst Control Centre and drivers.

Hi maverick

Ati drivers you need, try here for your model:

ATI Catalyst Control Center™

cheers

Dave

But how do I find what model I have?
