Comp tech/repair Question?

well need a couple of things - having problems with a Gateway 7210gx, and tryn to figure out what the problem as, as when i install the drivers for the video card - it does a 'purple screen of death' sorta thing... and i'm not sure what EXACT model of screen, or video chipset i have (and software to figure that out is what i'm looking for)

also.. i'm probably going to be taking apart a Mac Powerbook later (15in screen), and changing an LCD display, though i really have no idea... any link to tutorial would be greatly appreciative.|||This may sound like a dumb question, but if you do not know what the graphics chipset is, then how do you know what driver to install? That could be the root of your problem, as you probably installing an incorrect driver. Install cpuid and belarc advisor as they will tell you what hardware you have installed and teh graphics chipset and model. As far as direction for taking apart a Powerbook, master driver installation first and other more simpler hardware upgrades before attempting something that you can permanently damage.
