Help with Video Driver on my laptop! A week ago whenever my laptop would start the screen would go completely black after the windows startup splash page. The computer would only completely boot up in VGA or Safe mode. I tried a System restore with no luck. I downloaded and reinstalled the video driver but that didn't work either. Then I completely formatted my laptop and reloaded windows XP. I started to load the drivers off the Dell CD and after I loaded the Video driver I would get the same result on startup. Right after the initial windows splash page the screen would just go black. The Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 600m with an ATI Radeon 9000 32mb video card. The computer works fine now that I uninstalled the video driver but I can only get slow video without my video driver being installed. The warranty just ran out on the computer and it is barely 2 years old. I looked up the info on the video card on other websites and the info I got was that the card was soldered onto the motherboard. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is my video card dead? Do I have to replace the entire motherboard now? Please help I would really appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.
