BSOD possibly caused by new NVIDIA driver. Not sure what to do.
Last year in March, I installed the 314.22 drivers and everything seemed fine. A few months later, I installed the 320.18 drivers, but learned that it caused a lot of problems, such as the kernel mode driver stopping and restarting while simply using Firefox. I used System Restore and it seemed to do the trick, but I did see people talking about using third party programs to completely remove old drivers.
Yesterday, I had the problem with the kernel mode driver again for the first time since June and decided to update the driver. I think that may have only made things worse, though, because about half an hour ago, I got a blue screen. He suggested that I use System Restore, which I did, but now I'm worried that I haven't really solved the problem or that there's something else I should do as well.
Should I use a program to remove my drivers and reinstall 314.22? I've learned new things about my PC while researching problems in the past, but I still only really know the basics, and looking at the instructions for some of these programs makes me worry that I might severely mess things up when trying to use them on my own. My dad will be away for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow, so if I should use one of these programs, I'd like to do it tonight while he's here to go through it with me.
