Hi all,

I have a dell xps m1730.

gpu sli 8800gtx m at stock never overclocked
cpu dual core t9300 2.5ghz at stock never overclocked
4gb of ram ddr2. strangely 2gb 333 2gb 400

I have been getting nmi memory parity check errors with blue screens.

Problems have only started in the last two weeks or so.

It has windows vista x64 and all i can describe is the laptop freezes randomly and shows the blue screen or just freezes.

Reason I have pointed to the graphics card is that memtest tested the ram fine.

When the problem occurs after reboot the graphics card have a yellow exclaimation mark beside them in device manager and the graphics are really jerky as though the nvidia drivers have been uninstalled. Just on desktop!

I have done a clean uninstall/ reinstall of latest drivers still have the same issues.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thinking of doing a full wipe of the laptop and installed windows 7 to exclude everything!

Thanks for your help!
