Hi i have a Asus v3800 TNT2 card

i try to update my drivers to the nVidia 6.31 drivers, and everytime i play a game or use Media player or Real player my whole computer halts. I cant figure out whats wrong it does this with every update

except the Asus 5.31 drivers which arnt as good

 

Can anyone think of anything?

 

Thanks

It would seem from your post that the ASUS 5.31 drivers are actually better than any others if they don't lock your PC up.

 

However, my kids computer with a Diamond V770 (TNT2 Ultra) is using the 6.31 drivers right now. Unzip the drivers from Nvidia in a folder, go to display properties and update driver, search for a driver and choose the one in the folder where you have unzipped the new drivers. Voila, updated.

 

That is how I have always done it and it seems to work.

Try uninstalling powerstrip. And if you've installed any other tweak software you should remove it. Never, ever leave tweak software and settings in the computer while upgrading drivers. It's just all around a bad practice.
