Hi guys,
I have a HUGE problem right now. My 8800GTX's drivers won't properly install.
Last night I installed the 178.13 drivers and everything was fine. I used my computer this morning and it was working great also. I come home later to find out that the nvlddmkm (sp?) was malfunctioning. I was getting the pop-up saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered." This occurred repeatedly, almost every couple of seconds until a BSOD came. This has happened occasionally before, so I restarted but found that it kept occurring. I then assumed it was the new drivers, so I uninstalled those, driver swept, and installed 177.92. Those worked for an hour until things REALLY got messed up. My computer BSOD'd again and when I rebooted, the BIOS was #$%^ed had all these lines going through it and the text was all gibberish. Something like "||||||^k|||]" all over the screen. Windows had many lines also. OK....I then uninstalled those and went way back to 169, good and stable drivers. Problem is, they can't install. Whenever I try installing, I boot back up to find that nothing has changed. I tried installing from Device Manager, but got the same result. I can see videos but I can't play any games.
SO...I'm wondering now, how do I get these SOBs to install?
SCREENSHOT: Text <--UPDATE (see below)
System Specs:
GIGABYTE P35-DS3R
INTEL Q6600
EVGA GeForce 8800GTX 768mb
VISTA64
PS. I HOPE that it isn't a hardware issue...I'm thinking it MIGHT be because I left my computer on for an extended period of time in a relatively hot room. I leave my computer on almost all the time...maybe my video card finally crapped out?
UPDATE: OK, so that screen isn't really helpful. Apparently it's not taking the blue lines going across my screen. That is odd. Monitor/cable problem? Still doesn't explain why my video card isn't getting installed though...My XBOX360 is working fine on my monitor as well.
UPDATE 2: Some more info...Device Manager currently says Windows has stopped my video card because it detected problems (Code 43). How do I start it?
UPDATE 3: After each attempt to install the drivers, I get pop-ups on startup that say NvCpl.dll and NvMcTray.dll have failed. Also, the install file in the registry says failure on it.
