ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 randomly throws a corrupted display on a Dell Studio 1737

Da_Nuke · Jun 17, 2009, 04:54 PM

I have a Dell Studio 1737 laptop, one of those big 17" desktop replacements, and after my brother had it with Windows Vista, I decided to downgrade my OS back to Windows XP. However, I've been recently having troubles with my display driver. Every now and then, my display driver shits brix and my display is all corrupted with horizontal lines all over the screen, and I have to restart. I found out I was having troubles with something called ATIKMDAG, so I googled it to find a solution, but all I get are solutions for Windows Vista, and I have Windows XP. Installing Vista is not a choice, because we don't have time for this and my brother doesn't wants Vista running in his computer.

Also, I can't uninstall my display drivers. Every time I try to run the uninstaller, I get this error:

Code:

Exception occurred upon trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\atiiiexx.dll,_InfEngUnInstallNFFFile_RunDLL@16 -force_restart -flags:0x2010001 -inf_class:DISPLAY -clean"

I'm already sick of having a failing video card. Any ideas?

I have the Dell 1737 as well with the ATI HD 3650 video card have the same issues. I have had two of these laptop, replaced by Dell and still having the same issue. No newer drivers and I tried the mobile moder and it had the same results. Blue Screen of Death ATI ATIKMDAG.sys. In addition a friend has a IBM T500 laptop with the same ATI HD 3650 having that same issues.
I am trying to get Dell to replace or give me a credit to replace the system with a different type but no luck yet.
