Windows would display the following error:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/VideoError.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-152\" title=\"Video Error\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/VideoError.jpg\" width=400 height=100 alt=\"Video Error\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n in the tray and I would need to close and restart some programs such as MSN Instant Messenger as the window would just be blank when I view it. Going to the device manager and checking for updates to the video driver resulted in windows saying the driver was up to date. As it was random and infrequent I tried to live with it but then eventually it was time to find an answer. Going to the NVidia web site, on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/Download\/index5.aspx?lang=en-us\" target=_blank>driver download page<\/a>, it gives a few options to find any driver updates for your machine. I chose &#8220;Option 2&#8221;, it requires you to install an Applet to allow it to detect your video card. Once I did that, I did in fact have an update to my video driver. Once the update was installed, the video problems have stopped and the laptop is once again happy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thanks_button_div\" \n                  style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><div id=\"thanksButtonDiv_200_1\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/thanks_compact_blue1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; float: left; display: inline;\"\n                onmouseover=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_200_1', true);\" \n                onmouseout=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_200_1', false);\"\n                onclick=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_200_1', false);\" >\n                <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"thankYouButtonClick(200, 'You left &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; already for this post')\" value=\"Like 0\"\n                  class=\"thanks_button thanks_compact thanks_blue1\"\n                  style=\"  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;; color:#ffffff;\"\n                  id=\"thanksButton_200_1\" title=\"Click to leave &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; for this post\"\/>\n             <\/div><div id=\"ajax_loader_200_1\" style=\"display:inline;visibility: hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ajax loader\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/ajax-loader.gif\" \/><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a Dell Latitude E6510 laptop and the screen would randomly freeze up, flicker to black and then the video display restored.
