Looking for aneyony else with a HP dv9000 series notebook.

I have a HP dv9420us and am running Vista Home Premium 64.
Iv had a lot of problems in the past. Had to send it back for repairs 4
times.
I am currently having BSOD with sleep and Media Center, HP says its my video
driver (nvidia GeForce Go 6150).
Iv tried upgrading the driver but after several failed attempts HP tells me
to what for a custom driver for my model.
I'm just looking for someone with a similar setup to compare notes with.

7.15.10.9815 is the current HP website video driver version.
Most of the generic Nvidia drivers do not work properly with HP laptops
I do have a 9650us, but it has an Intel processor and a different Nvidia
chipset.
Updated Video drivers did solve a lot of it's problems.

My BIOS is F.3E witch is newer than the one on HP website.
I have the driver version 7.15.10.9815 dated 2/27/2007
witch is the one at there site, HP tech support says there is a newer one
( At http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvist...5.19_whql.html )
but it wont work on my system yet.
They told me they would be updating the one at there support page
eventually.

I have a DV9008 running XP/SP3, and it went back for repairs
in Jan 2008 due to the original BIOS destroying the HDD. Now
BIOS is F.3E and no problems (have same video chipset).
Bought it two weeks before Vista came out due to death of an
old computer and HP refused free or low-cost upgrade when
Vista came out.
