What is HP support telling you when you ask them about the problem.

Is the OS 32bit or 64bit? What specific model of dv6000 is your machine?

I get my driver updates via Windows Update. HP update always offers me old
versions of the drivers for my dv6330.

Get the driver from Nvidia, not from Microsoft or HP!

I went to nvidia to get an updated driver - there fix is to contact HP. I
contacted HP and they sent me there latest driver. I deleted my old driver
and installed theirs. When i installed their latest driver, i got the "yes
to all" meaning I had it already. My computer still shuts down... Iv'e
talked to HP twice and looked all over windows to find a fix...still no fix.

Can anyone out there help me and Maddie? Please... Thanks in advance

You should not install drivers from the NVIDIA Website for a laptop you
should only install laptop Go drivers from the HP website for your model
laptop. This is because the laptop manufacturers modify the standard
drivers to work properly with their motherboard.

So I wont find a fix in windows or nvidia? I guess I'll chat w HP again...
Thanks for the help

Uninstall the driver then reinstall by pointing to the folder containing the
download and see if there is any change.

Take a look here. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista for your
laptop drivers. There is some "tweaking" involved to get them working
properly. I had problems with a Nvidia 7600 Go video card on my latpop and
vista. I didn't have your problem, but finding a driver was tough. I have
found that older games are not very well supported on laptops and Vista.

But check out their drivers (read on how to install them, you need to modify
the INF file) and give it a try....

I have the same problem. My computer shuts down unexpectedly, and the
solution is given as downloading and installing an updated version of the
graphics driver. Mine is 7500 LE, and I am running Vista Home Premium 32
bit. I downloaded a driver from the Nvidia site, and the results were awful.
I had two black bands 3 inches wide running on both sides of the monitor
from top to bottom. I contacted Gateway and they downloaded a driver from
their site which had the same number as the Nvidia, 169.25. The black bands
disappeared, but my computer still shuts down. I emailed Nvidia but have
gotten no response.
