GeForce 210 Crashes (Only with Drivers)
Hello,
I have an NVIDIA GeForce 210 that I have recently bought with a 500W power supply for my Dell Inspiron 530 system. With the default VGA drivers, Windows 7 booted up fine and I could download the drivers from NVIDIA's site. However, when I rebooted after installing the drivers, I was stuck in a boot loop. There didn't appear to be any blue screens; the system just rebooted as soon as it got to the boot splash. I wouldn't think that this would be a power problem, but even trading out for a new card of the same type didn't change anything. Would this be a problem of the computer, or am I installing something incorrectly?
EDIT: Looking through event viewer (I'm using my integrated card), I see several bugchecks with error 0x00000116. I'm assuming this would point to the problem, although I'm not sure how this can be fixed.
EDIT2: I get the feeling this isn't a problem with error 0x00000116, because I can't even press F8 to get into the boot menu without the system rebooting. Part of me still feels like this isn't the system, but I don't know what else it could be.
