The BSOD started happening on boot up (randomly).  Finally it became a regular occurrence.  I tried booting with PuppyLinux off of a disc or thumbdrive.  Can't remember which, but I think it was a thumbdrive.  Hey that worked for quite a while.  The video card was not working with the windows system, but the puppy linux having a simpler video driver seemed to be able to overcome the problem.  Anyway this work around finally gave up the ghost too.  A replacement, refurbished video card for the laptop was more than I could get another laptop for, so the Dell got pushed into the long forgotten stack of computers and replaced with a Toshiba.</p></blockquote><p></p>
