After 10 months of working off and on with Your Tech Team, I'm happy to report the arrival of a new system that, once set up and debugged a bit, restores my faith in Dell. They ended up replacing my 435MT with a 435T and everything works like it should--both the video card and the RAID system. No more messages about the display card stopped responding and recovered. I have to admit though that, having read one of the posts here, I did a reinstall of the operating system immediately when I got

Chris, it's a tough row we hoe. I had a similar experience--the replacement of the card didn't fix the problem. In fact, I simply gave up on my graphics display problem because it didn't seem to crash the system. I see the message about stopping responding and recovering all the time, every day and just live with it.

Then they (Your Tech Team) sent me a new video card. That didn't work either. I've kind of given up on the problem since it doesn't crash the system, but it is annoying.

Does anyone else get frequent error messages about the display driver having stopped responding and recovered? I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit and this has been a problem since I got the computer. I've updated the driver once, but that didn't help. Dell replaced the video card, but that didn't help. It seems as if the card or driver has issues with the Windows screen saver when I have it set to play my photos and videos. The error is no big deal. It doesn't crash the system. But it's

Personally, my favorite idea in this exchange was the two fans blowing in opposite directions. It almost makes me want to epoxy two fans together, apply power and see what happens as they each fight to draw air from each other. May the strongest fan win.
