Hello, I've recently encountered problems with my nVidia GeForce FX 5200 video card. I was signing onto aol when my monitor started flashing. I was going to reformat that day, so I figured that might fix It anyway(wasn't exactly sure of the problem at the time). After I reformatted and was re-installing my drivers, my monitor started flashing again, and then froze. I rebooted, only to find a blue screen(the one where at the bottom It wil say something like STOP: 0000000005675x or whatever digits) telling me a problem has been encountered with my computer. I go into safe mode, and when I log on, It tells me the video display driver caused the problem. So I uninstalled it, and kept trying to reinstall It; but no luck. I'm still under warranty for my computer, so can dell replace the video card? or Is there another way to fix It? I own a dell dimension 4600, with the XP home edition OS- and I'm an 'advanced' PC user. Thanks in advance.


Edit: I've called Dell and apparently my hard drive Is bad, so they're sending a new one. I don't really need a reply to this thread anymore. Just Is someone could explain how that works, It'd be nice. Btw, I specifically remember the stop code was STOP: 0x000000EA(0's might be too less/many) and when I ran the diagnostics test It failed with a return code of 7. ::shrug::
