Moderators Andavari Posted March 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for the info Hazelnut. Luckily I keep the old installers for awhile, since their drivers always seem buggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 There is no or little reason to install a new driver if your current video driver works fine. Installing new drivers consumes more disk space too. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

redhawk Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Just as well I don't have any fans on my nVidia card. So what's the problem exactly, are they cooking the GPU making the fans work overtime?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasgandy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I agree with Ishi, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it. However, thanks Hazelnut for the heads-up. Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Take this into consideration, just because a driver is newer than your current driver, that doesn't mean that the newer one is always better. I have seen a more advanced video driver, with features that my video adapter doesn't even support and when I installed it, my game would have minor but noticeable lags that don't even happen to my old driver when I play the same game on the same computer.

Aethec Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 "WHQL-certified" = fail WHQL means "We guarantee it won't harm Windows". This driver doesn't harm Windows. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 So I guess they don't make fan's hardware controlled anymore that kind of sucks?? I'm not sure if I like the sound of software controlled fans like what if my graphics card driver crashed overnight I could be waking up with a dead GPU the next day. :\ Anyway even if the software is buggy it always a good idea to constantly monitor the temperature of your hardware anyway so in the event of a heating problem you can shutdown and let it cool down.

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 9, 2010 Author Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2010 Here is a post from Wilders forum from an experienced user who installed the nvidia update, he mentions in another post in that thread he may be considering using a lawyer. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.ph...mp;postcount=13 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 12, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 12, 2010 Makes me wish I would've just bought another ATI card, even though I seem to burn them up every two years. The NVIDIA drivers have had some display corruption bug in them for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
