    I just received my 9300. I fire it up and notice that I get a BIOS screen and once the windows xp boot screen disappears my screen goes black and wont turn back on.

    I know for a fact that it is the ATI driver that I am trying to use because if I fire up the 9300 with no driver installed to the x300, it boots up all the way to the desktop and I have no problems.

    I have tried many different ATI drivers with no success. Ive tried updating BIOS and I have no success.

    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

    If you haven't, run Driver Cleaner Pro in Safe Mode and start from scratch with Dell's X300 driver.

    ...If you just got it you mean that it never functioned properly out of the box?

    Pretty good, generally better than Phone service actually.
