So I have a problem with my 8800 GT when I upgrade to either the ForceWare Drivers or the Drivers from windows update. The issue is if I use anything other than the driver that isn't the one that was first installed, my computer will crash after a few miniutes. My monitor will go black and will say No Input Detected. I've been running Windows 7 for like 3 days straight now but if I install the newer driver I will start to have problems and need to roll back. I guess it isn't a big deal since I am not having any issues with games or anything using the stock driver. I couldn't find a resolution to this anywhere on the internet so I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem.

I would try this even tho I don't think this would solve the issue, but I am using 64 bit Windows 7 and this seems to be only combatable with 32 bit.

**Oh nevermind it just seemed to have an error message first time it started... I will give it a try and let you know

***Well that fixed the issue seems silly that I have to get a 3rd party program to remove drivers... you think Windows would of worked that out... But thanks!! Kudos to you
