I have an Inspirion 8600 with a 128Mb Geforce FX 5650. I have been satisfied with the card however one problem remains that I cannot solve after months of trying =(

Can any1 please help......

Currently I use 53.03 Starstorm drivers and they are great... no problems whatsoever, HOWEVER when I upgraps the drivers to 56.72 or 61.77 or ANY drivers above 53.03 I get a brief black flash on screen when the Fan comes on. When this happens the FPS doesn't nessesarily drop.... the flash seem to happen when the Fan kickes into high speed....

The question is why does it do this and how can I remove this annoying bug please. I do not get this with either the Dells drivers or with the 53.03 drivers at all, and the fan still kicks in at high speed too.

BTW all the fans are clean and spotless including the GPU fan and outtake, I also use a high powered Notebook cooler because it sat on the desk mostly so I dont think its overheating. If it was I'm sure the card would show graphical corruption of some kind.

I have also tried flashing my BIO to A03 cus I heard whan the CPU fan kicks in it can do this to the Graphics display, however this still has not sorted out the problems. Also I have tried DIRECTX9.0c and dont a full reinstall however the problem still remains.

PS I dont overclock my card either....

Please Please Please could someone offer any kinda of advice please....
