ok guys so here's the screen that my friend is getting after he updated his drivers to the latest nvidia 280.26 whql .... now he's saying the issue is occuring randomly can occur after few minutes, half an hour ...maybe after a few hours but it is coming... the pattern is like the screen will start flickering a bit, goes blank then a message pops-up for a split-second saying something like "nvidia this-that stopped working and has been recovered" and then it disappears then after a few minutes this above shown pixelation happens and screen hangs up..... now i suggested him uninstalling nvidia control panel and using driver sweeper for nvidia display in safe mode. he did it and made a fresh install of the drivers but still getting the problem. now we're gonna try re-installing the windows and then making a fresh install of everything including the new drivers of course.
but what if we still get the problem? then what next in trouble shooting?
changing the cables is out of question cause the guy is using a CRT display from "Einstein and Newton's" time which has the vga attached to it... the only option remains changing the display temporarily...... if it is a display problem the solution is straight-forward but if it isn't then it's complicated because it's my card that i sold him and i'm responsible for it atleast till it's in warranty.
anyways still if you think the problem has nothing to do with hardware then what possibly according to you could be the reason for this unwanted, uncalled for phenomenon?
n yes i insist him on using paid antivirus (i love my kaspersky internet security) but well he keeps avoiding it i dunno why..... could it be because of some virus?
