Original title : PNY nVidia Quadro FX 1500 PCI-E 256MB Graphics Card problems

Hardware Failure/NMI Parity Check BSOD only after installing latest drivers. What is strange, it happens when autoplay boots when inserting a memory stick/usb flash drive or clicking on the USB Wireless adapter (Netgear WNA1000m) icon in the taskbar.

This is on an IBM Intellistation M

8GB RAM

Dual Core 2.44Ghz

windows XP upgraded to Win7 Pro.

Any feedback appreciated.

    many  thanks for the response.

    I rolled back drivers it worked temporarily. Then windows updated automatically.  I rolled back the drivers and it continues to give me the BSOD

    Here is the message on the blue screen:

    *** Hardware Malfunction

    Call your hardware vendor for support

    NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error

    *** The system has halted ***

    Everything seems to work ok in Safe Mode. I will try the clean boot to determine the problem.

    However, i have ordered a new Quadro graphics card as i need a faster card, and will install it and see what happens.

    I was able to determine that it crashed whenever I right clicked on the desktop to change the background or use the gadgets. Anything graphics intensive, i guess.

    i will post my results. Fingers crossed.
