Cannot find or download video drivers for Inspiron 531

Hi guys

System:

  • Inspiron 531
  • AMD Athlon Dual Core 6000 + 3.01 GHz
  • Windows Vista 32-bit SP2
  • NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Earlier, the display on two monitors connected to my Inspiron (Dell 24 "& Dell 22") deleted and enter Power Saving mode.

Both screens are also connected to my XPS 8300 and they work very well with this system. I also checked the two cables and they work too.

The monitors are usually connected to my Inspiron like this:

  • The 24 "monitor is connected to my Inspiron with a DVI - D to DVI - D cable
  • The 22 "monitor is connected through a DVI - D to VGA cable (the slot of DVI - D on the PC to the monitor VGA slot)

However, if I run live of the Inspiron, its connected monitor VGA slot to works fine.

The display shows a screen of information who advised me to click OK to complete the installation of the "new" NVIDIA software I have automatic updates turned off and I certainly did not begin any procedure update.

Anyway, I clicked 'OK' and reconnected the monitors as normal to think everything would be ok, but they still do not work.

I had a problem not long after I got this PC when I updated the video drivers from NVIDIA direct - I could run basically only to screen at resolution 800 x 600. I contacted the Support technique Dell and they said, it would be best to always get the updates driver directly from Dell. I did this and the problem was solved.

I tried to find the relevant video drivers on the Dell site, but for some reason any my Inspiron no longer appears on my record details, only my most recent XPS. I tried to re - register, but I keep saying that my Service tag is no longer supported. I found anywhere else on this site where I can download the appropriate drivers.

So I'm stuck - ideally I want to download the drivers for my dual monitor Setup works as it was before. I tried to do a system restore, but I don't know if it will work. In fact, I cling to the wide trying anything in case I find myself accidentally disabling VGA, power supply, so I won't be able to do anything with my system.

Why Dell make life so difficult for someone who has purchased a product from them once his warrany has expired?

Thanks for any help.

What happens if you start in Mode safe?  -Restart, and then press F8 before Windows starts to load and choose Safe Mode from the menu.

Assume correctly that it is an add-in PCI-e graphics card? A map is not... ??

You can try this:

  1. Power off, unplug
  2. Press / hold the power button for about 15 sec.
  3. Carefully reinstall the video card in its niche.
  4. Then remove the battery from motherboard and the power button press / hold again to ~ 30 sec
  5. Reinstall the battery (right-side-to the top) and see if it works now

NOTE: It may be a good idea to open BIOS setup (reboot and press F2) before trying the above. Copy down all the settings of the BIOS because the battery will reset the BIOS default settings. After reinstalling the battery, restart and press F2 and confirm that the settings match what you noted. Be sure to save changes before exiting the Setup program.
