Hi jagveen,

0x00000116 indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed. In other words, it is a problem usually related to a change or corruption of the computer’s video driver. A hardware device, its driver, or related software might have caused this error.

I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the video card driver from Dell website. Please follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the video card.

  1. Click on Start button.
  2. In the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press enter.
  3. Select the Display adapters listed and right click on it.
  4. Now select properties.
  5. In the properties window, under Driver tab, click on Uninstall button.
  6. Check “Delete the driver software for this device.”
  7. You want to delete the driver click OK.

After the uninstall finishes restart the system. Then reinstall the video card driver on the system for issue resolution. Please enter your service tag # on the link above, select the OS, then download the video card driver from Video section onto the system and install it.
