display driver is constantly uninstalled, BSOD is the result

shabs · Nov 18, 2012

hey there, in the last few days ive begun recieving blue screens and after looking and posting on several forums with no permanent solution ive turned here. the cause (i'm pretty sure) is something to do with my display (graphics card or something?) drivers. in control pannel, display, settings, advanced settings, the fields are all blanked or greyed out and say 'unavailable' under 'adapter'. i have reinstalled windows 7 i have installed and updated nvidia geforce 8300 drivers. currently using a dell inspiron 530 initially installed with vista. think im 32bit. intel core 2 duo.

i cannot complete the start perfmon /report step because i receive errors in doing so. each time the pc reboots the display is pixelated or blackened out. i can barely read anything. thought i fixed the problem about an hour ago after installing some 300mb nvidia files everything was perfect then it started all over again. i cant even read anything on my pc... everything else seems fine though but the fact that this driver keeps getting unistalld i think it might be a virus etc. the reason i think its unistalled is because under those same headings in control pannel i mentioned above, they go from black to nvdia ge force etc back to being black or unavaialable again after a bsod/black screen

heres even more information.

Sounds like a failing video card, the 530 have Intel integrated video along with any optional add in cards you could try removing the Nvida card and use the Intel port to hook the monitor up to and see if the problem clears up. If it does the card is failing.

thank you for getting back to me so quick, problem is i have no idea what youre talking about. i wouldnt know where to start. if i just bought a new graphics card and got it installed by the supplier would that be a surefire fix?

Removing it as test first would be the best choice, what do currently use the PC for?
Perhaps the Intel video is all you actually need if not gaming on it.

Removing the card is quite easy the instructions from Dell are here> http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd530/en/OM/HTML/parts.htm#wp1079933
