Hi,

I have a HP Compaq 8710w mobile workstation laptop
It has Vista business (32bit) installed.

The problem I have is that the nVidia Quadro driver is causing hardware crashers -ranging from screen flicker and freeze to just blue screen memory dump!

It seems to be happening more frequently (I could just about live with the flicker). It has happened almost from day one, but I was just too busy to change laptop and thought updating drivers would fix.

However, I've tried all drivers from nVidia and HP site to no avail.
I dont know if its a Vista only issue or Vista+this laptop or if its a hardware error?

Any help would be apreciated
