BSOD with nvlddmkm.sys on Dell D830 laptop

[KSMike]

I'll post a reply with the stickied info but wanted to go ahead and get the story posted. This is a D830, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M. I'm the original owner, Win7 64, 4GB, I've never had this problem and hadn't installed or knowingly changed anything for several weeks prior to this starting. I brought up Word to edit a document and as soon as it came up, the screen pixelated and I got the BSOD. Since then I've tried:


1) Uninstalling/deleting everything nvidia, reinstalling nvidia v3.41 drivers/tools, with same results.


2) Uninstalling/deleting everything nvidia, reinstalling drivers from the Dell support site (for Vista 64-bit), with same results.


3) Uninstalling/deleting everything nvidia, and allowing Windows to search for drivers on its own, with same results.


In each case, from a cold boot, I get the "Starting Windows" with the dancing windows, then a black screen, then BSOD. I can boot into safe mode with networking and run anything; I see no evidence of memory, SSD, or other problems.

I'm afraid the graphics chipset has failed somewhere, but since this has been such a common BSOD condition for so long I thought I'd ask just to see if anyone knows of another suggestion.


Thank you!

Here's the collected data.

Not much that can be done here, officially there's no support from Dell for Windows 7 so you're relying on Windows drivers partially and I do not expect that you could run any sort of stress test on the GPU without too much risk. I believe your GPU has failed, but I do not expect that can be tested.

Ok thank you for looking.
