Resolved - Driver Problem

[Vicari 1st MRB]

Whenever I join the server, my game will appear that it is minimized but I will still hear the sounds in the game. I Alt-Tab to try and click the game back up but no use. Sometimes I also get an error that my windows kernal driver has stopped working and has recovered. I've tried updating the driver, re seating my vid card and reinstalling the driver but no luck.

I run Windows 7 32-bit

My graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti

System also runs at nominal temp and all fans work.

Anyone else have this issue?

When you say you've re-installed then driver what do you mean by that? Are you just uninstalling it via device manager then re-installing? Or are you downloading the latest most current driver for your GPU from Nvidia's website?

http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/55026 try downloading the driver right from their site.

How long have you been running on this GPU without issue? When did your problem start? And is it only happening with DOD:S?

I did a clean install with the newest beta driver which is the link you posted. I got the GPU only 2 months ago and this problem just started the other day. Now if the driver doesn't recover, I get the blue screen of death.

is it just dods you get this issue or all games? if it all games then it your driver, if it just dods when we can seperate it partly from all driver based stuff.

Its everything, any game, youtube vids or just plain working on a word doc. Now it says it recovers and not 10 sec later right into blue screen of death. The weird thing is all my drivers are up to date and I re installed the main driver for my video card. Still doing it.

Not sure if your very computer wizz tech but you tried opening up your computer to actually see if a wire is lose or something?

Yea everything is in order. I re sat my card as well. The only thing I can think of is that my vid card is over clocked but I never did anything to it. It's the 1gig 550 gtx and my diagnostic said its clicking at 900mb
