BSOD on HP Laptop 8000 series

[aides]

I came back from shopping with the laptop frozen so I turned it off. It started with a BSOD. The BCCode is 116. My wife said that it had completed some updates this AM when she turned it on. This computer has a GE7600 video card. It also runs very hot so I'm wondering if perhaps the card might have cooked. Should I try to reinstall the driver? All help appreciated.

Can you get into safe mode? If yes, try using the restore points to roll back to before the problem started.

Probably won't work, but I'll try. The text and icons are very distorted making it hard to navigate since much of the display has been shoved off the right side of the screen. I I have to give myself a big Ooops - I have Vista not XP.
