    Laptop freeze after installation of graphics driver software


    Hello. I am using this Acer 4741z laptop Win 7 ultimate 32 bit more than 6 years. but from yesterday suddenly my laptop freeze and it was totally hanged. then shutdown it by using power button. after restating my laptop its again freeze and again i shut down it by same way. then i think it will be resolved by installing windows and installed windows today. after successful windows installation i install different driver software e.g LAN, Chipest, WLAN, Bluetooth etc. and finally when i installed intel Graphics Driver then my laptop again went to freeze. so i shut down it by power button and start with safe mode and uninstall the graphics driver. after uninstall of graphics driver software i start my laptop and then i did not face freezing problem. i think this freezing problem is occurring when graphics driver software is installed in my laptop. how can i get a solution of this freezing problem.

    There could be a bug in the newest version. Try installing the version that you had previously installed.

    Hello,

    In Device Manager: Uninstall Display Adapter>Scan for Hardware Changes>Update Driver.

    Doesn't work, go to Acer website and download latest driver.

    I recommend that you remove the driver using this program and reinstall the driver that you previously had installed. Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

    Hi,
    Thanks yep you have a typo in your system spec's page that threw me off
    You show Acer 4147Z and not what the system summery shows as Acer 4741

    Since you have been reinstalling I would highly suggest using new media that has sp1 included in it
    Post your Language and we can provide you with it

    You need Win-7 32bit Ultimate and just let use know what language.

    Display driver wise looks as though you'd be using onboard graphic's so the driver would be mostly on the chipset/ vga driver at Acer's website
    There's no need to get it anywhere else.
