Nvidia’s Newest Driver Version Is Affecting Some of Their Users’ PCs

Nvidia just launched a graphic driver, edition 364.47, that presents efficiency repairs and modifications for the majority of the newest games such as NFS, Hitman or The Division. Unfortunately, some customers have revealed that the newest drivers can cause the computer to stop working, lead to blue-screens or other malfunctions.

First seen on less known boards, many people have talked about this problem with their desktops since updating to the newest software. The issues go from simple blue-screens to computers completely failing to start and many customers have to perform full system recoveries or even safe booting to remove the programs.

After the past issues with their newest driver, Nvidia initially took it down from downloading and automated upgrade, and has now released a fixed edition. It is presented in its beta form, so it will not be auto-downloaded through Geforce’s Experience unless people have specifically chosen to do so.

Reviews are that it has repaired its multi-monitor issue. However, people using dual-card configurations are confirming insta-crashes after they try to allow it. Some are affirming that it is an issue with Nvidia and other think that the outside system being utilized to uninstall the drivers before set up causes it.

There is no certain method to know for sure how the installation will respond without testing. But, unless you want to spend some time solving it when the computer is failing to boot, wait for their non-beta edition.

Nvidia has not taken down the software from their website yet, but they have admitted that some people are experiencing problems with the drivers. The company affirms that users should perform a clean set up of the program rather than the regular installation and reviews on the Internet at least appear to support his method.

To do that, people must press the custom set up choice during the process and choose “clean install” in that list. Those who have already installed this software and have an affected computer must start in safe mode in order to remove the driver from their system.

After this, they can get the previous edition of the program and set it up. Users can try to restore the computer with the System Restore feature, supposing that the function is allowed within the PC. To remove the software while in safe mode, people have to access “Device Manager”.

Then they have to press “Display Adapters”, then click the graphic driver, choose the Driver icon and then press the “Roll Back” function. An easier choice might be to utilize Driver Uninstaller from the computer’s safe mode.
