run it, save a report and ATTACH here

If not possible,

add/remove control panel, check SHOW UPDATES....remove SP1, does that make a difference?

intel extreme

go here:

http://downloadfinde...x?ProductID=865

get that..

Download driver cleaner pro from here:

http://www.driverhea...ead.php?t=76416

Install it.

Now

Start > Control Panel, choose add/remove applet

Remove any drivers or utlities for your card.

Reboot into safe mode, by tapping f8 key at startup, about once a second...you will be given a text mode menu....choose safe mode

Run driver cleaner pro and select the video driver you had from the drop down menu and let driver cleaner wipe out all the remaining files from the uninstall.

reboot into normal mode...cancel the hardware installation wizard.

Use the driver setup routine you downloaded above to reinstall the driver.


(i was not aware this was a laptop, but this sometimes occurs when the laptop videoadapter is damaged by heat--you might want to open her up and clean the dust bunnies)
