Exclamation Nvidia Driver Problems
Hello people, I would appreciate your help. So, it started from just like nothing, when I was playing Warcraft 3, the screen got flashing with strange patterns and textures gone mad and such, it froze down for the first time, and I had to close it via the ctrl+alt+del window. Second time I tried it crashed into a blue screen and restarted, after I returned to windows a pop up window with those MS advices for troubleshooting came up saying that problems is due to something to do with graphics driver and that I should instal the newest. So I have gone to the nvidia site, installed the latest (180.48) driver, installed, restarted, and then it totaly messed up. The thing that happened in that game gone all over. I have stripes over the screen, when the PC is booting, on those black screens where there is that flashing cursor in the upper left, its covered with random letters and symbols , the scrolling is like if I got 1Hz refresh rate, and it does not recognize I have installed driver for my Grafics card. Like, it shows me that some video card is attached but it does not recognize. I tried installing the drivers, newest, old (160 something, 175 something, even older), nothing, I uninstalled the driver, installed, sometimes I get stuck between the booting loading screen and instead of login screen it starts flashing with funky colors, I solve that by visiting the boot menu and returning back. I tried safe mode, installing the driver, uninstalling, once it crashed into a blue screen and said that the problem is most probably due to file "nv4_disp". I tried deleting but its that kind of file when you delete it it just appears there again. Once, and I dont really know how, it gone good, when I did some random un-install driver combination it fixed itself, I was trying things if its really o.k., but after a while in game Guild Wars, it started again, flashing stripes and such, and it crashed and it was broken again. Everytime I log in (if I am of such fortune) it shows that I have new hardware (graph. c.) and I have to install driver. I Tried installing manually, through setup, nothing. I even checked the card physically but its completely ok (at least looks like). I tried changing PCI-e slot but did not make any difference. I am sending a screen what the stripes look like. And Everest report...
Thanks for help!
