    BSOD When Updating Nvidia Drives.


    Hey guys,

    A new version for the Nvidia driver for my GTX970 came out today and i tried updating them.

    Firstly what happened is the computer restarted and it went through chkdsk first. I am running two monitors and they were both flickering trying to display something. But i heard the start up sound and i logged in behind the black screens of the monitors and then a couple seconds later i got the BSOD and then the computer restarted.

    I then went into safe mode and rolled back the driver but i then got a message saying it couldn't complete or something. So i restarted my computer and it started up and displayed everything perfect, just as normal.

    I then went to try and re-install the new drivers again and the same thing happened and i just repeated everything i did before.

    The computer is running just as normal while i'm typing this thread.

    Any ideas to what exactly happened? Maybe a fault with the driver? Should i wait for the next driver update after this one before i update?

    See the screenshot attached for the error codes and such

    Thanks
    Atif

    Disconnect the second monitor and then try installing again.

    See here, many people are having this issue.

I downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card yesterday from the nvidia site. Would like to hear the best way to install it. I've heard that if the old driver isn't removed properly then I'll have no end of problems. Any tips? Thanks.
