Multiple copies of Video drivers-what to do?
I have win 7 home prem 64 bit on a Samsung Gamer Series notebook. No problems for months. Didn't even need to restart ever except after updates. About 1-2 months ago, installed Nvidia Experience, but haven't loaded any games yet. Installed Steam 7-3, but haven't installed any Steam games either.
The most recent change was letting Nvidia Experience install driver updates, but no Betas. 2-3 driver updates in last 1-2 months. Just had latest update from GeForce 320.18 drivers to GeForce to 320.49 a couple days ago. That update also updates / Installs PhysX System Software 9.13.0604. And
Installs HD Audio v1.3.24.2
Seems like troubles started then, but I've also had about 16 Wordpad documents and 25 Firefox sessions open at a time while doing some financial research papers. Don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but when running WMP, seems like switching from Dual View to just the notebook display used to make everything wonky for 5 seconds, but then it would be ok. Now, I get a loud rattle and then no sound until I close and re-open WMP.
Firefox has also crashed w error 41 several times in last few days.
Mouse starts to intermittently stutter, then stops regularly for 5-10 seconds, then freezes. and CTRL Alt DLT doesn't do anything. Have to hard boot.
System Specs below & SF attached.
Any ideas or anything obvious in the report?
Thanks!
