Bluescreen after Windows Update
Hello,
I have a Dell XPS M1330. After the last windows update my computer bluescreens when restarting (but not when i Shut it down and start it up again). The Bluescreen disapars before I can read what is says, but I was hoping someone else has had the same problem and know of a solution ?
When the problem first occured I assumed something had gone wrong with the Windows Update, and startet the painfull prosess of reinstalling windows. Everything was working fine until i installed all of the windows update-updates, and then the problem was back. I am not sure wich of the updates that are causing the problem, and was hoping someone had an idea before i contact Dell and get told to send the computer in ? (I have also posted thread this at notebookreview.com)

You might want to check out this a article: Redmond puts key Vista update on ice, it looks like an update issued last week may cause this on some systems.
I had the same problem. It has to do something with the AHCI for SATA drives.
Go to dells driver download page and install the Intel-Driver for turbo memory. You do not need to install the application for turbo memory nor the matrix storage manager (just install the driver) After that, you should be able to download and install all Vista updates with NO bluescreen. This worked for me and for my brother who had the same problem. He has a Inspiron 1520 and I have XPS 1330.

I also had the same problem as you. It is caused by the AHCI drivers. If you want you can disable it in BIOS - change the setting to ATA - and work as normal.
Otherwise you need to reinstall vista and make sure you install drivers BEFORE installing the OS. You get this option at the point where you have to select the drive to install the OS to. You need the drivers downloaded on to a CD or USB stick to install it at this point.
This cleared away my bluescreen problem.

Do you have the latest Bios installed?
