I mananged to roll back changes to the comp, the default drivers are on now but i want to know why he cant use the updated drivers.
they must have some kind of conflict either with your operating system build or with some other piece of hardware in the system. sometimes the updated drivers arent always the best thing to get. wait till the next driver comes out and see if you have any more luck with that, also email the card manufacturer and tell them about the problem you had with this driver, it may help improve the next version so it wont happen again
I agree with SypherTek 100% on this one. The new drivers might be fine in one persons system and not in another simply because of other software applications that may be in conflict. (What was installed after those 3 days that it worked fine?) A couple of years ago I had a similar issue with a graphic driver update and just went back to the previous version until a second newer driver came out.
yeh ive also had this kind of problem, the graphics card that is now in my 2nd system has got major conflicts with my main system, if i install the correct MSI driver for it, it causes BSODs random crashes etc but it works fine with the generic nvidia driver (which is no good as the msi driver lets me overclock it to 600MHz)
So like i said somthings interfearing, what you have just said is excactly what i told the man, sounds like we cant do much but wait for the nest drivers. @scubabud, he said he didnt install anything. thanks for the help guys, i'll tell him exactly what you told me, realy appriciate it
rav009 We all say that we didn't do anything... LOL It could be auto updates from MS, etc. that helped to cause it since they just had a few auto updates in the last few days.
lol yeh you did, but you both replied didnt ya He says he thinks its AVG autoscan :S I'll just leave it to him.
