Nvidia Driver Failure

[Psyche]

I've literally tried anything, I am on the brink of just going and getting a new card.

 

I keep getting a Blue screen everytime I use anything that remotely uses graphics.I can only run in safe mode. I've tracked it down to it being an issue with my nvidia drivers but that's it. I've updated them, uninstalled then reinstalled them, reinstalled Win 7, Reinstalled Vista, and I've taken it to Microcenter, where they say there are no hardware issues but I think that's bullshit. I have been running Windows 7 since the beta and its worked flawlessly, last week I was playing Left4Dead 2 and I blue screened while playing, and now anything that involves my graphics card makes my computer die. Someone fucking help.

go download rivatuner and check the clock settings and bump up your fan just to make sure its not overheating

[Wrathek]

uninstall your Nvidia driver.

restart.

download driver cleaner pro.

run it, have it remove nvidia as well.

restart.

download the newest drivers.

install.

restart.

 

good to go.

Ok do what Wrathek did but do this

 

uninstall gfx drivers

REMOVE GFX CARD

restart it will use the default onboard on if there is one

then do thre rest and if the onboard one works its most likely just fried.

This! I thought it might have been your physical graphics card and not the drivers. See if you can play games at lower settings. If it still BSODs, then it's not the graphics card.

 

Sometimes your hardware might have came loose. One time my computer wouldn't start and when it did, it BSODed on me. I took apart EVERYTHING (except heatsink) and replaced it, basically rebuilding a computer from scratch, and it worked after that.

 

Have you checked your temperatures while running these graphics intensive programs? Maybe something is overheating and the computer is BSODing to save you.

Get a new card, your cards broke

It is most likely overheating. If it is, tell me and I will know how to fix it without buying a new one.
