Drivers not responding

[MumboJumbo]

Hey, upgraded my nvida drivers to the latest 182.08 and now they "stop responding" in every game i play. After trying a reinstall and then a total removal including using driver removal software and reinstalling. They still do not work.

What is my next course of action?

Bare in mind i only recently had other gpu problems that seemed to fix them selves with random crashs which on boot up would claim my gpu was not getting enough power.

The PSU definitely not at fault? If not test that first. You could do that by removing any overclock on your cpu and/or remove hard drives, sticks of RAM etc. If still having problems try another PSU.

Your first sentence sounds like an overclock which is too high for the given voltage. Also, a fresh installation of the OS could clear up any driver issues if there are any.

Well after reseating my gpu it seemed to work fine. It started only working when my pc was put on its side which was odd which made me think it cant be the psu like id orginaly thouight. So after reseating it now works fine upright again. As for my driver issues they seem to have randomly stopped as well. This is becoming rather odd.

I havn't overclocked my gpu, used too but reinstalled os not so long ago and forgot to reoverclock it. Also my cpu is only at 2.5ghz becuase my mobo is quite unstable as well. Used to do 3.6ghz, Sigh lol.

My pc also passes 3dmark vantage at max settings twice in a row and has managed 4 hours of prime95. I know thast not definite but i never got arround to leaving it over night.

This is all very odd :S

Maybe it was as simple as a loose contact of the videocard with the mobo?
