• Drivers Causing Freezes
    0 replies, posted
So this all started a week or two ago when I installed windows updates and updated my video card drivers to v 335.23 (previous was 320.18). After doing that, Planetside 2 would freeze my computer so that I have to restart it. Borderlands 2 would do this on occasion too. One time after restarting my computer got a blue screen. I'm sorry but I never wrote it down and I forget what kind it was. Anyway, after much frustration with PS2 crashing I uninstalled the new Nvidia drivers and re-installed the old ones. Yesterday I went to play PS2 and the game soon froze my computer. I restarted my comp and when Windows went to start up my screen lost signal and my mouse and keyboard's lights went off but the num lock light stayed on. I reset to try again and it stayed like that. I went into startup repair and tried that, no luck with the repair. It only gave me the following: Problem Event Name: Startup Repair Offline Problem Signature01: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature02: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature03: unknown Problem Signature04: 646 Problem Signature05: AutoFailover Problem Signature06: 1 Problem Signature07: BadDriver OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 After that I looked to try to start a recovery but that didn't work. I think the error said something about a program was stopping it from doing this. So I get out of there and boot the computer into safe mode and it works. From there I uninstalled the video cards and restarted. The same problem happens and boot into safe mode again. I try using system restore from there and it works. The system was able to boot back up as normal. The thing is that after a little time spent on my computer, after reinstalling the 320.18 drivers on my video card, I get a Skype call. As soon as I answer the call my computer freezes. After a reboot everything seems fine until I open up UDK and then it freezes again. So I have no clue how I can go about fixing this problem or even troubleshooting it. Any help would be appreciated.
