Hi guys
This isn't a problem with my PC (it's something I've been asked and am stumped with)...
A family member is running Vista 64 with a BFG 8800GTX OC in it.
It's been happily running for the best part of two years (or more, I can't remember now...) but lately it seems to have forgotten what the graphics card is.
When it boots I was told that something didn't look right (didn't find out exactly what), the "colours were all wrong and the icons were massive", so the family member had done a system restore and removed the Nvidia drivers completely.
I told them to install the new ones, which they did. It worked so they tested by rebooting a few times...all fine until the final reboot when it did the same thing...DXDIAG shows this:
I'm a bit stumped as to why it's suddenly losing the driver! I've tried Google but the results are so random it's a needle in a haystack job...anyone any ideas?
