Laptop BSOD (nvlddmkm.sys)

Hopefully the nvidia display is out of use now, and so there will not be any further chance of graphics switching.

Theoretically eliminating the BSODs? Good move, I was just thinking that if the nVidia GPU was the only active GPU we could determine whether it was actually the card that was bad or the switching graphics? Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Sounds reasonable to me, as long as we do it in such a way that if the card is dead, meddy05 will have some graphics left to be able to use the computer. I think I would create a restore point, then Do Not disable the on board but uninstall it. If I am not mistaken, uninstalling the graphics adapter will make Windows re install it on the next reboot, and the drivers will still be there. Does that sound right?

It does, I'm not sure whether Windows will use the nVidia card by default before installing the Intel drivers but you'd think so.

I've got to hit the sack Steve, I'm knackered after a long late shift but I'll be back tomorrow night mucca.

Sleep well and thanks for all your help.

Thanks, I think you made the right decision. It has seemed to me that your Nvidia card was not working at all. I hope you have good luck with PCSpeciatists. Please keep us posted and let us know if we can provide any help.

You're welcome. If you call PCS and ask for Tom Davies (tell him Boozad told you to ask for him) he may be able to help you with the details of what they did. Glad everything is working well now.

You are more than welcome. Glad everything is working well for you.

Very good job Steve, Gav and meddy05.

After reading this thread several times in the last week I also would like to know what fixed the problem.
