Trouble booting with latest Graphics Driver
Hi,
I recently did a clean install of my OS which is Windows 7 x64. I had downloaded all the latest drivers for my computer before hand so that I could be up to date right away. The problem is when I installed my video card driver, which happens to be the latest release from Nvida for my 9800m GT, I get a BSOD quite often when I restart Windows. It might not happen everytime but it occurs right when it says Welcome and the circle to the left is spinning. What is strange about this problem is that before I did a refresh I had this driver installed and everything was working fine. So, I have tried reformatting and using the drivers given by the manufacturer. This seems to work fine and I get no error, but with the latest Nvidia driver it occurs often. I have tested my ram with memtest and it passed (some suggest this could be why the error occurs). What else is weird is that if I manage to boot into my OS everything seems to work fine. I have even stress tested the system and I get no crashes. This suggests to me that it is software related but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached my dump file for inspection. The error seems quite common but each case is different so I would really like some help!
