Dell 435MT Graphics Problem

Hi All

My 2009 Dell Studio XPS 435 MT has a graphics problem. I'm getting random snowing effects on the screen - sometime white and sometimes red pixels. The system hangs and then I get a blue screen crash. The card is a Radeon 4850. This pattern is predictable and repeatable.

I have disabled the graphics card in Vista 64 bit for now - and working with standard VGA settings - but still noticed the random snowing effect when going into the Dell bios screen.

I plan to replace the card - should (and how do I) disable the graphics card in the Dell bios?

Or am I looking in the wrong areas to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Pete

Just an update - My PC is a Studio XPS desktop tower system. Had the same problem in 2010 and Dell came out and replaced the graphics card. Fixed it until same problem again in 2013. Warranty expired, own my own now.

The one thing I don't understand is why the boot up/bios screens are getting weird pixelations with the graphics card disabled. Surely the PC boots up with onboard graphics only?
