Dell Inspiron N7010 (6Gb RAM) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) keeps getting a BSOD as follows:
'attempt the reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed. if this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. if this screen appears again, follow these steps.
Check to make sure any new software or software is properly installed.
stop: 0x00000116 ( 0XFFFFFA800C7EA4E0) ,0XFFFF88003605C98,0X000000000000000,0X12'
This all started yesterday when I uninstalled a few programs, rebooted and then ran the usual virus/malware scans (CCleaner, SpywareBlaster, SpyBot, MalwareBytes and Kaplinsky AntiVirus.
I've run the diagnostics from Dell's website, and received prompt that all was well with the hardware. I've read that installing the latest video driver is suggested, but it doesn't seem to have positive results. Can anyone out there direct me? If there is anyway possible to avoid having to restore the laptop to factory defaults or in any other shape/form reformat HD and reinstall..... would be greatly appreciated.
