BSOD after installing NVidia updates and other driver updates
Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide some assistance in getting rid of this BSOD problem.
Here is what happened.
I was using two driver update programs: One called Driver Booster 2 by Iobit and the other called Slimdrivers.
I updated various drivers including Nvidia which I had previously uninstalled but it kept popping up so I just let it go. The next thing I know, after that is installed and there were no more drivers left to install, I ran Windows Update and it also wanted to installed Nvidia again. I didn't have much choice in the matter...before I knew it, it was installing and I had to restart my computer. When the computer turned on again, I used it for a little while then it started to overheat something terrible. The computer was so hot I thought it was going to start on fire. Almost as soon as it started overheating, I got the BSOD and within a second it restarted or shut down. I can't remember which. The fan was running at top speed but that still wasn't enough. I could have cooked an egg on the backside of this thing.
So the next day, I started the computer up again and I uninstalled Nvidia completely using Iobit's Uninstaller to remove all traces of it in my computer. But the other problem I have now is that it still runs dangerously hot within a few hours.
I've uploaded the zip file as per the instructions. There must be some kind of conflict going on.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
