    I got a Dell XPS m1530 laptop with a 8600m in june and am really concerned about the recent video card debacle. Recently I have been unable to shut down the commputer or even hibernate/sleep it without it automatically restarting. Also my nvidia control panel will not load any more (error message), but there are no present video problems with my laptop. I just downloaded the new nvidia driver from dell, is this different form the new BIOS that was released because now my fan never stops running and my computer is still not fixed. Should I dld the BIOS? What can i do?
