in vista or xp
i see this page 4 times/mon
i think
incompatibly between intel chipset and graphic card,idont sure!!!
vostro 1510
graphic:nvidia 8400 Geforce
WUXGA Widescreen TFT (1920 x 1200) with TrueLife
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 @ 2.50GHz (800 MHz FSB, 6MB L2 cache)
Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit) whit windows xp home sp3
320Gb hdd with 7200rpm
But it will also be as likely to fail as your Dell, since it's made by the same contractors, using the same parts - and Sony charges upward of $800 for a mainboard if that fails, so get the extended warranty if you don't want to be in the same situation in another year.

No matter what the problem... when you're asking for help, it's important to mention what model system and what OS you're using, because it helps us provide more specific answers/suggestions of what to try.
Hopefully, reinstalling/updating the graphics drivers will solve it? If not, it would suggest there's a problem of some sort with the graphics card :emotion-6:
It *could* just be overheating, but in a laptop... that in itself is quite a major problem, because there's very little you can do to lower the temperature - other than using the likes of I8kfanGUI?
If none of the above help, and your laptop is still under warranty, contact Dell tech support.
