    OK well in that case Lenovo Power Mgmt is the only bloatware I allow back into my PC after a Clean Reinstall, mainly so I can set battery to Long Life and use Fan Reverse. I would still use the Win7 Default Balanced or High Performance settings though.

    Hmmm. That looks like something buggy from Nvidia. That's why I wanted you to do the reinstall because I think you might have some corruption related to Nividia drivers or their Bloatware. If you uninstall the latest driver and software in Control Panel and Device Manager, does that go away after reboots? If not you may need to run a Driver Sweeper and if that doesn't work see if you can get before it with System Restore, or take my advice and do a parallel reinstall to test the difference with only the steps in Clean Reinstall Windows 7 which helps us help you much better since we know that over a million who have followed those steps only have not had problems. So something is creeping in.

    yeah like i said i did do a fresh install of windows from the system restore before, drivers were running ok only reason i did a reinstall was cause my laptop wouldnt stop freezing and the reinstall fixed that completly but my only problem is my display driver keeps unresponding when ever i do anything 3d wise. STo does it but then it runs ok with limited issues. neverwinter runs ok. strangly enough >.> DC Universe is some what playable >.> so i really dont know what the deal is. BUT no matter what i do my screen goes black.

    You have yet to state that you have installed an Anti virus program and the reason for not doing so. Are you 100% positive that the bloatware you are installing doesn't contain something malicious? PLEASE install a reputable AV program such as Panda or Security Essentials for your own safety. With these you can pre-screen the installer package before actually insalling the program. Unlikely, but possible, your problem could be with a trojan/virus.

    basically lenovo kept a back up of windows that in-case of software problems. instead of having to re-load windows from a CD , u just reload it from recovery system built in. what i did. OH this erases EVERYTHING! so i know i don't have any viruses on here. as for AV , we haven't found a free one that didn't charge for a subscription to use it

    and the latest windows update came with a virus scanner/screener to check for problems. nothing was found. it was a one time use. my system is clean.

    My post # 6 & # 9 gave you the answer on which anti virus to use.

    Try to help some one that will not install security programs in my opinion is a waste of my time.
    You will just get infected and all the good work other members have done will be wasted.

    Have a nice day.

    There are totally free AV's discussed in Clean Reinstall Windows 7 which you would have discovered had you read or used it, but in spite of repeated claims that you "already did a Clean Install" you did not do anything of the sort but instead ran Factory Recovery which is the worst install of Win7 one can have.

    However we will be glad to help you achieve a perfect Clean Reinstall Windows 7 here as we have 1.3+ million others who now have perfect installs of Windows 7 without a single complaint. But you need to read the tutorial so you know what's involved, and not just falsely claim you've already done it.

    Install MSE or Panda free now and run a full scan so you now you're not infected. Since you've not had any protection, I'd also install, decline trial version, and run a full scan with the free scanners Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware - Downloads since it appears your OS has become corrupted when it can't download and install a driver.
