A friend of mine is getting BSOD when Multitasking for example b/w Itunes, Firefox, and typing a word Doc. She has a 32bit Vista Dell PC. The problems and solutions always says NVIDIA driver problem. She has the NVIDIA Ge Force 6150SE n Force 430

Should we choose to update driver and have it search the Internet and detect the right driver and install it. Should we find the driver, uninstall the current driver and then reinstall the latest driver. What is the best way to find out the most current driver for the 6150 SE, Nforce 430.

What do you think? Thanks.

Hi, I would download the latest driver from Nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista...86.18_whql.html
Once downloaded uninstall the old driver and reboot, then install the new driver.

Thanks for the link on the Compatible NVIDIA Driver. I have a couple of Minidump files from the last BSOD. Can someone read these and tell me if the problem is related to the Video Card Driver. Thanks
