    I am working on a Lenovo T61 6459-CTO, running Windows 7. I've attached a log for any more information that may be needed.
    For the past 6 months now I have been unable to run my laptop without the display driver disabled. When ever I have it enabled and go to startup the screen goes black or goes wacky right before the log-in window appears. I've tried unistalling/reinstalling the driver. I've also tried using different versions both from Lenovo and Nvidia. The best luck I've had was just last week, when I did a windows update and installed the new recommended driver available. To my surprise my laptop started up with no issues and everything was working great. However, when I put it to hibernate and started it back up I experienced the same problem as before. I would really appreciate some help figuring this out so I can have my laptop running smoothly again.

    I have the same issue on my Dell Precision M70 with an nVidia Quadro FX Go 1400 graphics card running XP Pro SP3.

    The graphics driver I downloaded from Dell along with the other device drivers for my specific service tag. An "updated" nVidia graphics driver didn't pass Windows Logo testing and blue screened the computer.

    Without the nVidia driver though, I can't get the laptop to go into Standby when I close the lid or try to select Standby from shutdown (the Standby button is grayed out).

    I hope someone on the forum has an answer for us. :)

    I wish someone would give us some direction as well.

    The only problem I saw in the Everest log (and it is a problem) is the fact that you've only got 3% available space left on the hard drive. The computer must have slowed down dramatically and it could lead to other unforeseen problems. I doubt that it's causing the video issues though.

    Yeah that's definitely not causing the video issue. It's only recently that my drive space has dropped so low and it's only resulted in a little slow down.
