Angry Display Driver failure

Hello,

I bought a new Dell Studio XPS 16 loaded with 7 Home Premium. It has a ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4670 – 1GB and a Core i7-720QM @ 1.6GHz (6 MB cache).

For some reason, the display driver has failed multiple times when doing simple tasks such as watching videos on hulu or even ones from nba.com. It gives me the whole system memory dump blue screen crap with a stop code of:

0x00000116 (0xFFFFFA86006, 0xFFFFF7F74E0, 880048531B4, 0X00000000000, 0X0000000000D).

The blue screen suggests disabling caching and shadowing of the bios system memory, but I was under the impression that that's some archaic holdover from much older bios systems. So what's up with that?

Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Hi Prismlink,
Have you tried replacing the video driver? That would be the first thing. If no joy, I suggest running memtest just to make sure flaky memory is not causing the error.
HTH,
