Nope...doesnt look like there is any dmp file being saved. Would it matter if the BSOD was happening before the system actually loads?

Geforce 8800 superclocked

So after asking around some and fiddling around it does in fact seem that my video card is the problem. It is regularly freezing either in the process of startup, I cant even manage to finish installing windows. Is there anything I can do about this or is the card just shot? Thanks

Need a program to find detailed computer info

Hi, I have a broadcom wireless card for my laptop but the system info wont display what model it is....that is making it hard to upgrade its drivers as Broadcoms site only lists based on the model number. Is there a program out there that can tell me this? Or another way to find it?
