My PC was running fine. I updated the graphics driver & shortly afterwards it began freezing often. I couldn't do anything. Good old faithful Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't do anything. I had to hit reset.
I restored & went back to the old driver & everything was fine.
FFWD months later & i ended up formatting my HDD (yesterday). I got new downloads for absolutely everything - printer, mouse, keyboard etc etc etc .... and graphics card.
I've just been setting the PC back up since yesterday & it's froze twice on me. Just done it now as i was trying to install PowerDVD. I think yesterday it happened just as i was browsing the net.
Thing is, 1) i don't remember the driver version that last worked 2) I don't have it on backup.
What to do?
NVidia GeForce GTX 460 it says under device manager.
"331.82-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql" is the name of the driver currently installed.
