DELL XPS M1730 PROBLEMS

 Hello all :) hope u are fine

 

I bought XPS M1730 2 weeks ago and was quite happy with it in the first days but suddenly everything changed.

 

Today i was playing COD4 multiplayer and suddenly the screen went black and flashed many times and i had to use task manager to end COD4,at the bottom near the clock i got this message:
nvlddmkm driver has stopped working but has recovered successfully
 
Then i couldnt play it,so i had to restart, when the windows boot up again, i went and played Crysis but my FPS dropped alot,i dont know what do 


 
 
I have used the 2 drivers for XPS M1730 in DELLs site, one NVIDIA desktop driver(from laptopvideo2go) and finally the NVIDIA LATEST 175.32 Driver and results are the same.

 

Config:IntelCore2Duo T9300@2.5GHZ,2x8800MGTX in SLI,4GB DDR2 667

 

I paid alot for this laptop and its a bid disappointment :(

I'd like to recommend (If you haven't already) firstly trying it with SLI disabled and seeing if that makes any difference. My second suggestion would be uninstalling and installing the drivers in Safe Mode if you haven't, as it may make a difference.

Did you also download/use the modded INF file?  They don;t work (properly) without it!

 

Try the latest drivers available first (v177.89).  If you still have problems with those (I'm not - and I play CoD 4 myself, too), try increasingly older sets, until you find a set which are stable for you?

 

Remember to uninstall the old drivers, before installing the new ones ;)

Yeah i first uninstalled the drivers,then i went to safe mode and used dirver cleaner and then i installed the new drivers, and yes i installed the moded inf too.

 

 

 Also i purchased this laptop because of 2x8800MGTX so i can play @ 1920x1200,then u say i disable SLI?

 At the first days that i received it,i didnt have any single problems,i could max out everything @ 19200x1200 but not i cant,i get FPS drop and the game play isnt smooth
