D600 Graphics Issues / White screen + Crash
Anyone able to help?
Clean Install of Windows XP SP2 installed the drivers from the disc and/or dell website and all seems fine for most of the time, but then occasionally (once per hour or so) the screen will flicker, go black and then come back on with an error message about the graphics driver (and asks if I want to report it to ATI) or it completely crashes and goes white.
Now a blue screen of death would be nice... a black screen perhaps... but just completely blank and white I haven't come across before.
Any ideas on a solution to the problem? Drivers for the graphics are the latest from the dell website.

Just a small update for if anyone else has/will have these problems in the future...
A Dell technician came out today to replace the motherboard - it still occurs with the same faults afterwards - he also does not think it to be the LCD screen, it is fine until it crashes. A new processor and memory is on its way; he seemed to think it was a memory problem, which I can agree with - it could well be...
In the meantime I am going to be reinstalling the operating system again before/after the memory/processor exchange.
Failing that they would like to do a collect and return and run some tests on it... doesn't look hopeful at the moment though!
