Jkn1984 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have a I8200 and I saw the new BIOS update on the Dell Website for the Geforce 4 440 go 64mb. I dl it put the BIOS on a floppy loaded it into my laptop, and now my screen is a mess! I tried putting it back to previous version that are on the website and no luck. I did not make a copy of my original BIOS (which was stupid in my regard). I have a display and the laptop can still be used but there are little colored dots all over the screen. If I refresh the screen they go away for a little but as I move the mouse they appear and it gets so bad I cannot make out what is on the screen. Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 If this is the same guy I talked to earlier Rene, he eventually got Dell to replace the card I believe for free, and all works fine for him now. :) We think it was a graphics card RAM issue, kinda similar to what happened to my card...
