Default GPU issue

Hi,

I got the blue screen of death earlier. Error report suggests it was the GPU driver. I removed the old driver and installed another, but again I got blue screened. This happened for every driver I installed. This would suggest to me my GPU died?

I went as far as doing a full clean install of Vista with no success.

GPU is a 7950gtx 512MB (notebook)

Luckily it's still under warranty for a few more months.

in that case I would send it back while it's under warranty.

Did you use Driver Sweeper in between driver installs? It's most likely a dead GPU, but I just wanted to check on that to be sure.
