AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! Great... OK, as it turns out, keeping the older drivers (258.96) WASN'T the cure, as it has now done it a few times. Although, this time it didn't crash, the video driver just stopped responding and was restarted. So, older drivers...? NOT the answer.
OK, so I upgraded to the NEWEST of drivers (270.61) thinking this MAY very well sort out the problems with Flash Videos, as well being able to keep my drivers upto date. but... nope. After a few YouTube videos, THIS driver also crashed and had to be restarted. What the Hell? THREE drivers in a ROW with Flash based video problems?? Hmm...
Anyway, so the old drivers (258.96) were no good in the end, the newer drivers at the time (260.99) were no good and the newest drivers (270.61) are also no good. All 3 have the exact same issues...???
So yeah, I just thought I'd get that out there. There may be users that haven't had this problem at all, but it seems to be an issue with the M1730s cards more than anything.
EDIT: As of today (03/05) the graphics problem has now extended to Windows Media Player as well, with random videos causing a black screen of death and forcing me to restart. In all seriousness here... just what the Hell is wrong with the recent nVidia drivers? How can 3 drivers in a row all have the same problem?
