baking aint gonna help u noob!!....if he "bakes" the card with the wrong driver installed...(even if it IS functioning correctly) its gonna reaaally FUCK it up....that could lead to the card blowing and discharging the resulting power overflow to the motherboard!!!!!! (which if you dont know what im on about.....could lead to blown resistors/capasitors on the motherboard......wich will then mean u need a motherboard AND a graphics card...........)
THATS YOUR COMP TRYING TO UPDATE THE DRIVERS FOR YA CARD MATE...... right click my computer, then goto properties, goto the hardware tab and click on device manager, once in there see what device has a question mark next to it.....if nothing has a question mark next to it, just go to display adapters and right click the device in the tree and update driver, when it says connect to the internet to update this driver.....say yes!
bad video card usually shows up with lines or dots durring boot. If you think your video card is failing try a reinstall of xp. if that fails with graphical errors maybe it is time to bake your video card. Trust me baking a failed card works :D
probably video card has died, try to get to safe mode or put in your windows cd and boot from there, run a system test if it fails graphics test its your video card. Major problem with XPS laptops mine died 1 month out of warranty :(
@fladoona. capacitors are a really easy fix. it if just blows them you should be fine
