Hum Koolman I downloaded from here this afternoon and have had no problems at all - did you go, to this site or just use the Windows Device Manager venue?
Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers it took a while but my machines are running fine.

Just as a matter of curiosity the popping noise was that a machine generated one ie out of the speakers or a physical noise?

Well I uninstalled Realtek HD manager + muted the sound and I can still hear it but I'm thinking it could possible be a hardware with the GPU card since when I install to a newer driver the popping noise(like maybe every 10-15 minutes) really annoying when I'm trying to watch movies.
