Issue with GeForce GTX 580 + NVIDIA drivers... nvlddmkm.sys error
I'm almost at my wits end with this issue, and hoping someone can help me and I can keep this video card.
A few weeks ago while mid-game, I got a BSOD with a nvlddmkm.sys error. The computer would not reboot in normal mode, but would work in safe mode. Using safe mode, I managed to uninstall the drivers. Once they were uninstalled, I could operate in normal mode to reinstall more recent NVIDIA drivers, but once I got them, I would get the BSOD again upon restarting and again the cycle of going into safe mode would begin again.
I've tried everything from pretty much disassembling the computer, downloading all the NVIDIA drivers compatible with the GTX 580, but nothing works. But this BSOD is making me want to toss the damn thing at sea. I'm really trying to avoid buying a new card if I don't have to, but at this point its looking like I might...
Any advice would be appreciated. Will update with the system specs once I get the desktop running again.
(I just realised I probably should have posted this in the Drivers section - please move the thread if necessary!)
