NMI: Parity Check/ Memory Parity Error -- System crash

[Flash Gordon]

I uninstalled the ATI X1400 driver that I installed from Lenovo restarted my system and went to windows update and installed the driver from there

Can you give specifics what you did. What divers you replaced it with, urls? And can you keep us updated?

btw, I still crash free after a week and 10 streaming video, but 1 weeks isn't too long yet.....

Dear Flash Gordon

The drivers for ATI X1400 are available at

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...cid=MIGR-62928

And after uninstalling that driver from Lenovo I went to Microsoft update
Run the update and installed another driver from Microsoft its working fine for now
I’m monitoring it please remember that I was crash free for three weeks!!!

I had that error on an e1505 when I first got it, after a format and reinstall, its never happend again, going on 9 months, have you guys tested your ram?
I would first remove one stick, run memtest386 on it, if all goes well, remove it, put in the other stick, run memtest, if all goes well, put them both back in,and run it again. If you are running on a dell install, factory or recovery, I highly suggest you do a clean install

It does it with both the NV 7900GS and ATI X1400 cards so how can this be it?

A clean install is another thing to try i know but i am running XP how i like it atm grrghhhhh

If it happen in Vista i will be asking for a complete exchange or refund tbh.

My ram is fine its passed all the Dell tests and the memtest's with one in one out and both in at the same time!


Dell? never again!

but Nvidia has better chance of getting Blue Screen Free.

I have 3 replacements, reinstall windows for countless time,with all latest updates from Dell. It's still crash no matter what. I'm looking for refund and get that money to buy 2 other open boxToshiba laptops max out with 7900GS.

I see the thread is 5 pages deep now. I just had this happen to me last week. The crazy thing was that it was just download a file. Beyond that it was sitting idle. I had it on the black screen screensaver so the video card wasn't really doing anything intensive. This was an overnight download and I woke up to the BSOD with this error on it. Rebooted and nothing was logged in the event log about it. Looks like it might be a one time incident but we will see. I'm still trying to get it to reproduce.

You will get an NMI parity blue screen if you try to put it in S3 standby and have installed ATI Catalyst 6.6 or later drivers...

Thank you Stephen

so how to get rid of this problem for good?

[Stephen M. Smith]

You have to install either Catalyst 6.5 (from ATI) or use the drivers on Dell web site for E1705. What I did is install just the drivers from Dell and then the latest CCC from ATI.
