Garbled display then crash after bootup

[Dammon]

This is a problem I only have after Windows does an update and needs to restart. It will boot up fine up to the login screen but after I login the screen will suddenly become a garbled technicolor mess a few seconds in and then the computer will crash and restart. Booting up in safemode does not reproduce the problem so I have a hunch that my video card and some change with windows update are not liking each other.

As a side note I wasn't able to include a health report in the attachment. I kept getting a path not found error dialogue popup.

System is less than one year old except for the motherboard.

Dammon welcome to Seven Forums.

These were both related to your video driver, specifically the directx portion. I would re-install the driver with the newest version available from the manufacturers site using this method.

When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using

Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.


Also of note are some really old drivers needing update.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

When using Phyxion Drive Sweeper do I select NVIDIA - Chipset, NVIDIA - Display, and NVIDIA - Physx all to be cleaned or just NVIDIA - Display?
