I haven't run into before which is confusing, 3 weeks ago I installed a new graphics card, and clean installed the drivers, last night I was playing Grand theft auto 4 and my computer froze, after I reset the computer it froze again instantly when I loaded it. so I gave up for the night, the next day I tried again and it ran for 5 mins and started freezing, so I reset when I came back to windows the mouse wasn't moving around the screen properly so I guided with the keyboard, after which the display adapter stopped responding twice and eventually froze. so I reset went to safe mode, checked for viruses, malware, all the programs turned up nothing I cleaned my registry had like 3 or for errors, and reinstalled my nvidia drivers and reset, now it works again. I mean I know how to fix crap when it screws up but how did the driver break in the first place, I didn't install any software, or updates or anything since I installed the new graphics card, I've been playing starcraft 2 and GTA4 on and off but that's it so I don't get how a driver can just decide to kill itself, anyone know? I checked the temperature and it was at 25 while Idle which I assume is good for a graphics card from what I've seen. I've run memory diagnostics and nothing either, so I don't get it

I am really frustrated at the moment, I can't seem to get away from this problem I keep having.Last august I build my super computer. It worked fine, for the most part until this summer when I decided to take it apart and figure out some problems I was having, I ended up reloaded windows on it and starting fresh.I currently use the Logitech bluetooth keyboard as my main keyboard. The keyboard worked fine with the supplied bluetooth dongle, however a few months ago I noticed it was slugglish and eventually it stopped working so I then used a cheap bluetooth dongle I got for like a dollar. This worked fine with my keyboard until about a month or two ago when the keyboard stopped working. At first I thought it was the keyboard but after a restart it would work fine. Eventually, I decided to remove the device and re add it. When I did this, my computer went to the BSOD with the error message IRQ Driver something, I am sorry i didn't write it down but I can get it if necessary.I rebooted my computer but it would not come out of this and would immediately go to the BSOD right after the windows flag appeared. So then in safe mood I tried to restore the system to what it was before I installed the bluetooth, and this eventually worked. So then I went back and tried to add a device again and again BSOD but only this time system restore did not work and after many frustrating hours I decided to just reload windows again. I also purchased a ASUS USB bluetooth dongle from amazon. When I installed this and tried it, it worked fine with my system. However this too only last about a month and then it stopped working. When I went back to add a device I again was taken to the BSOD but only this time when I tried to do a system restore I got this message, " System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer software files and settings were not changed... The file directory is corrputed and unreadable (0x80070570)." This happened with all my different restore points. Again, I thought maybe my C drive is corrupt and since I hadn't even installed all my programs from the last time around I figured I might as well reload windows once again!That brings me to this evening. I formatted my C hard drive and reloaded windows, I thin updated my bios, and everything I could possibly thing of inside my computer. I think went to the ASUS site and downloaded the latest (only) driver for the USB dongle and thinking I had beat the problem and I tried to add a device and bam, BSOD. That is when I turned off my computer and decided it was time to seek some advice. I really want to use this keyboard, everything else works just fine. I do notice that once in awhile when windows loads, even after most recent reload the sound of windows freezing for just a second on the opening sound so it is dragged out and I haven't noticed that before. I am not entirely sure whats going on with my computer but I can't seem to find a fix for this bluetooth problem. I can't imagine its both bluetooth dongles failing on me.
I have an new Asus K52F notebook that's pre installed with Windows 7 x64 HP. I have no dvd as such and will have to rely on the recovery partition to solve any problems that may OK, will occur.Is it possible to break into the protected recovery partition , remove all the bloat that comes with a new notebook and add my own applications to it ? So if and when i recover , all my stuff is good to go.If i trim down my current install to under 30 gig , would adding an image to a 32 gig flash drive be a suitable way of recovering my drive image for later use. (I used to mess about with themes and .dlls a fair bit and will most likely start my shenanigans again once I'm bored ) Seems a very tight fit on a flash drive to me , are you meant to have a certain amount of free space on a recovery flash drive , or can i fill it to the brim ?
Sure i can buy a 64 gig flash , but it seems like over kill to me not to mention added expense. I do have an old external drive and will be buying a shiny new one next week , but id prefer to have an image on a flash that i can keep handy and use when needed, if that makes any sense at all ?
I am wondering how to break down a .gif image file into several different images.Also, anyone know of any programs that can edit them. Mostly just the size, for now atleast. I have Photoshop CS3 and am very inexperienced with it. (If you really wanna know the background, I did a semester of junior college for computer graphics but then some stuff happened and I had to drop out.) And anyone know of any programs to create a .gif image file. I think that Photoshop is capable but I don't know how,
I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and I just noticed that all my drivers for the USB controllers, Audio/Sound devices and the Networking internet (Broadcom Netxtreme Drivers) have all died. They indicate that a Code 39 is the problem. I tried to load some of the drivers but it wouldn't allow them to install. I did a last known configuration attempt, no results. Did a system restore and it gave me an error message saying it didn't restore properly. I am trying to get the drivers online, burn them to a disk and load them. I have no internet access on that PC and the USB ports obviously don't work. I can get drivers on this PC online. Some I can't find. I did the uninstall driver, disable, all the usual for this problem. I am stumped. Any recovery attempts produce nil results. Thanks to Microsoft, I have no installation disc to do a new install or a backup image.
I'm taking a ghosted image to another machine. On the image I have my device drivers set with static IP (e.g. Local Area Connection 1 is the static IP I want). I have two local area connections, 1 and 2, and 1 is what I want it to be while 2 is a default Microsoft IP.I put that image onto another system and after loading it I don't have Local Area Connections 1 and 2 anymore but Local Area Connections 3 and 4. When I first boot, the computer says Device Drivers Successfully Installed.Why am I losing Local Area Connections 1 and 2 and thus creating 3 and 4 which both have default Microsoft IPs? I want to retain the Local Area Connection 1 that has the static IP that I desire.
Having issues with RAID0 array being detected by Windows7 Ultimate x64 as SCSI. Apparently these drivers are the 'default' drivers that install when the RAID array is initialized. There is no option at this point to install other drivers instead.Using DeviceManager, there is an option to 'update drivers', and regardless of the method chosen, even selecting the file for a previously-downloaded set of drivers, Windows7 always comes back with a message of "Windows has determined that the best drivers for your system are already installed". Considering that SCSI drivers are the OLDEST ones out there, and actual SCSI devices are becoming rarer and rarer, how is it that these drivers cannot be replaced with more current and more applicable drivers?
I've recently been having various issues with my pc, among the things I tried to do was update my graphics card driver: found the newest driver crashed madly, and rolled back.What benefits are there in going for the newer ATI Catalyst drivers compared to the one defaulted by windows but which hasn't updated in 3 years. Generally what could have changed? Compatablity? If it works it works. Stablity? Performance? Heat management?Since it takes me 2 hours to download a driver (slow connection) I'm sticking on my Windows 7 default ones: I know they work. It does make me ask though if there is a benefit to upgading after i've got my PC stable again.
Whats the recommended installation procedure for installing drivers for specific hardware from a developers site or using the windows 7 default drivers?
For example when I install my windows 7 x64 Betas it found and installed the drivers for my chipset and everything fine. However browsing my Motherboard manufactures website I see they Drivers for chipset, audio, and other components I can download.
Would you recommend I stick with Microsoft drivers or use the drivers on the developers site?
whether I can replace the Elantech drivers with Synaptics drivers, I have tried adjusting the sensitivity in my Elantech touchpad in my Acer Aspire 5750 but still not comfortable with it.I have tried to use windows7 generic drivers by uninstalling Elantech drivers but when I restart Elantech drivers are installed again. would preferably like to install Synaptics drivers if that's possible but I am not sure whether that will work.
I have a simple question, I recently fresh installed Windows7 and was wondering if I should Install the new mobo drivers from the ASUS site (i have an ASUS P5Q Pro) or should I just keep the current microsoft drives for all the chipsets/lan/etc. The only Thing I installed was the Realtek sound driver. Would there be any advantages to install proper drivers? because right now my computer runs perfectly stable and smooth using the Windows7 ones.
I've just updated my Acer Notebook to Windows 7. I've installed all the drivers that Acer supplies for Windows 7.
But what about the drivers that are not supplied? Should I install the ones that Acer supplies for Vista or stick with the 'pre-installed' drivers by Windows 7 ... Everything seems to work with the pre-installed ones.
And how do I check wether or not the Intel Turbo Memory is working correctly?
Have one question, When I installed Windows 7 the only drivers I have installed were my video and audio which are not part of the motherboard (not onboard). My computer runs fine but 1 game but more or less I never installed any driver for my motherboard.
Normally you install the motherboards nforce drivers, raid SATA/IDE drivers etc... Do I need to go back to my motherboard vendor and find updates for windows 7 or just leave it they way it is, or should I install the drivers off the motherboard CD I have here? My mobo doesn't have any windows 7 updates btw there all windowsXP based drivers.
On my Lenovo W510 laptop I'm currently using the 14.1.1 PROSET drivers from Intel's website for my Centrino Ultimate 6300 wireless adapter. Lenovo just released new drivers on their web site with 14.02.0000. Going off of numbering the 14.1.1 drivers are obviously latest although I have seen that whatever drivers are made for Lenovo are always a little different (features and such). In this case is it better to go off of the laptop manufacturer's drivers (even though they are a lower number and seemingly older) or the wireless manufacturer's page (Intel).
I recently purchased a Lenovo K230 Desktop and installed 64-bit Win 7 Pro.
Everything works fine... but I'm a little OCD about drivers and making sure everything is up to date.
So here's my question: I found a dedicated Lenovo site with drivers to most of my devices here.
If Windows has assigned it's own drivers (which in some cases are newer), should I just ignore the drivers on the Lenovo site unless something is not working?
Example: Intel has a network card driver on the site, but it's older than the driver Win 7 provided. Is there any benefit from using Intel's driver -- which is 180megs btw (why it needs to be that big puzzles me).
So... Manufacturer drivers Vs. Windows drivers? Any benefit to going back to the manufacturer and using their drivers or just leave things as-is?
