Has anyone had this problem? Random blue screens with an nvidia card?

I've tried everything I can think of, removed the nvidia drivers and used driver sweeper to get rid of the remnants.

Booted up again, and tried nvidia's latest drivers for the card (GT220) and also the factory drivers from HP's website that came with the PC.

Using either nvidia driver causes the random bsods...

Currently have iplayer playing for the last half an hour with the graphics driver removed and Windows 7's automatically installing drivers running.

Therefore it must be a driver problem and not hardware... what is the cause of this? Anyone know?

That part of the nVidia driver software is the most high intensive realtime part so it will often be the first noticeable point of failure in an unstable system so its not 100% certain its a driver issue or even a GPU issue tho it can just as easily be an indication of that. Even changing between driver versions can sometimes change the way it works enough to mask an instability that trips another driver version.

Loads of answers on Google, are you using Vista?

I've trawled through the answers on google.. using windows 7.

Someone said that it might even be the RAM so I ran memtest and it came back ok.

Sorry missed the Win 7 bit. It seems this may be an on going issue. Have you tried todays latest drivers from nVidia? Some are saying it's associated with the on going TDR problem.

I'd be inclined to follow the threads over at nvidia http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?act=idx

Just tried the new drivers, and upon rebooting it has hung at the Windows 7 "Starting Windows" page...

Do you have a non nvidia card or on-board video? if so remove the nvidia drivers from control panel, make sure all temporary nvidia folders are deleted. Shut down the PC and remove the video card then start up with just on-board or another card. Reboot and run a test.

If all OK put the nvidia card back in and re-install the latest drivers.
