Not sure what's going on here but it seems to have started with a forceware update. My PC was running smooth until i installed 186.18 drivers and then i had frequent lockups in game. Uninstalled and then tried the latest. Everything was going fine for a few days until tonight, where i had left myself idling on a DoD server and came back to a restarted PC. Event viewer showed NV4_Disp Infinite Loop.
At this point i removed my overclock to see if that might somehow be causing problems even though it's been stable for 6 months, and on the first rebooting after going back to default i noticed a strange pause on my bootup. Everything is fine until the loading scroll screen disappears. Where there used to be a 2-3 second black screen before being presented with the welcome screen, it's now between 15-20 seconds of black.
Removed the latest drivers and went back to my original ones and the problem persists. However i don't appear to be crashing in game any more.... time will tell on this as sometimes i could play for hours without my PC freezing, and other times it would freeze after 10mins.
Any ideas? What is happening just before the welcome screen appears?
Why did i update when everything was fine.
