[quote name='jugador94' post='1017009' date='Mar 10 2010, 01:42 PM']I unistalled the Nvidia drivers, Nvidia nview desktop Manager, Nvidia Physx and nvidia control panel. After that I totally deleted the Nvidia folder in c:/,rebooted, and installed back the Drivers(from the link i told you before). And still the problem.
By the way I´ve notice, that it doesnt ask you to reboot after instaling the drivers (( Once downloaded from the [url="http://www.nvidia.es/object/notebook_winxp_195.62_whql_es.html"]Nvidia page [/url])). I´ve downloaded them, and then open the download file and it ran the instalation
Thanks[/quote]
I'm not sure what else I can tell you. It would appear that your GPU is on it's way out. Is there any place locally that you could take it and have them check it out for you? You could also run RAM and HDD diagnostics software to rule them out of the equation. Perhaps you could play a DVD fullscreen for a while and see if the problem occurs. Also run dxdiag (start menu/run) and see if you have any directx errors. You could also install the latest version of directx anyway just for the sake of trying it.

Quite a few 8 series mobile GPUs have died. There was some issue with manufacturing, some bonding material or something not performing up to spec and eventually failing with the continued heat cycle. You should contact the laptop manufacturer, whether it's still under warranty or not and tell them it's a known issue. I seem to remember on Dell and HP laptops nvidia were paying for repairs.

Everytime I start my notebook, it starts with the screen divided in 6 (miniscreens, showing the same).
Why is that?
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks once again =)[/quote]
I can honestly say that I have no idea what would be causing that. Does it happen during POST, during the Windows start up and/or during Windows? What about in the BIOS?
