**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
after the driver install i got the odd crash which i never did prior, checked the SSD for errors, 0 errors found more crashes/bluescreen's then my OS was corrupted
Now the PCI-SSD is randomly not detected in the BIOS.
Bought a new PCI-SSD Fine in the Bios
now in essence it corrupted my OS. & drive is wonky. Could it died without the driver? Maybe possibly. but checking the SSD for errors just after the install showed 0 errors
it was a Samsung SM951 - decent SSD. replaced with the Samsung 950 Pro though
now running 362.00

Nvidia must be cooking something. It's been almost a month since last WHQL.

Just curious a to why anybody would "need" UAC on?
When I turned it off and then went to play a game, nearly all of my saves weren't there. Once I turned it back on, they appeared.
Do people normally have it switched off, then?

Best performing driver for a 780Ti?

362.00 I'd imagine if you want to be fairly up to date.
turning it off is a bad idea. UAC is a great secruity tool. blocks appilcations running without your knowledge. basically a copy of Linux philosophies.
best thing about W7/W10 is UAC

Worst thing about Windows 7/W10 is UAC. Turning it off is a good idea.
I've had it turned off since Win7 days and never had a problem as I have a decent Internet Security suite and use Malwarebytes every so often.
Turning UAC off/on should not have anything to do with saved games btw.
All our PC's have it turned off at work thats some 3000-4000 PC's running Windows7 and we dont have any issues with it off.

It was a modded game, so I guess that could have been the cause.
You would never know. If uac did anytging. Uac helps stop anything that requires admin access
I feel sorry for your IT Learn to understand uac and use it To your advantage. Watch and learn from the Microsoft semnairs. In a office environment it's less needed to have UAC however it's your first defense In protecting your PC & network
For example I could walk up to one of your PC's copy a file to their c:/ sub directories with UAC off then at a later date via cmd/powershell send a request to start that application in the background, now if your lucky enough hour security will stop it but if it's known yet your infected or worse it's not nailcous but dam right annoying issue to investigate. A person could even send it to every PC with no UAC rights
I admit w7 version of UAC takes some time to configure correctly but use your first defense wisely.
rightsven more important at home your not behind 30 odd firrealls and corp av solutions.
Never been bothered by UAC. Only in vista to begin with due to some programs failing to work correctly but thats a non issue nowadays. Worked fine in win 7 and works fine now in win10 spyware edition(that was an attempt at humour). Granted i am just an ordinary user and have no knowledge of how UAC works at an enterprise level.

One of the first things I turn off is UAC, never had security issues on my machine and I don't run a firewall or anti-virus either.
I'm sorry but you have to be absolutely silly to disable UAC. At it's default setting it will only prompt you when:
- Installing applications
- Executing applications which require elevation
- Executing applications with manual elevation
- Performing filesystem functions in protected areas
These are rare occasion functions, not every day tasks. For the odd application which requires elevated execution but is implement incorrectly you can workaround with a service/scheduled task execution of the same.
I've yet to hear one genuine reason why you would need it disabled on a gaming/general use system. Anyone who disabled it in a business environment needs a word with themselves. UAC is entirely manageable via Policy and correct implementation. If you are DISABLING it for 1000's of production business systems then you need to re-evaluate what you are doing wrong. Or have a stern word with whatever software house is providing you applications which do not work with it on.

Agree with this. A small inconvenience once in a while is worth the extra security I think.
