D/Port has problems again.

This morning I booted up the laptop in the Dell D/Port, and after selecting the account to log in with, the screen went blank! It looks like replacing the motherboard didn't fix anything either.

This time, after a second or two, the screen came back on and for the first time I saw the message below.

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

Interesting, but did the display start working again because the motherboard was replaced, or because of the new display drivers I installed yesterday?

I'll have to see if it gets worse, and what Ron at Dell has to say.

A separate issues I had noticed yesterday, but thought it was just my eyes, some text "bleeds" over to the surrounding pixels. My wife used the computer all day and noticed it and brought it to my attention.
