Seems like if i use the first two options (Display Adapter and Problem Report) in the maintenance section of the catalyst cd that came with my tv tuner, i get a BSOD which reads:Hardware Malfunction NMI
arity Check/Memory Parity Error Call your hardware vendor for support The system has halted. This seems to happen only when i install the drivers for this tv tuner. If the drivers are not installed and i use maintenance options i wont get that that BSOD. I have been with dell on the phone for hours and all they could come up with was to install the OS (Vista) again and to make sure to download and install the chipset drivers first. All that said and done and i still get the error. Tv seems to be working fine under Vista Media Center etc. I only get that screen when trying to access the maintenance section of cd. So i called dell again and they told me it's possibly bad drivers or some sorta conflict, more than the actual hardware being toast considering tv and radio works. I may just return it to be on the safe side but it's not like i plan to use the maintenance options anytime soon. Anyone has any ideas to why this is happening or suggestions on what i should do? ![]() Thanks Specs: Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium Model: Dell Inc.
