Solved GPU-Z Stopped Working?

[Ap3xGam3r]

Hi, I have an hp pavillion dv6 7050ca and I just downloaded the new NVIDIA driver version 344.11..I opened GPU-Z and instantly is says it has stopped working and windows is finding a solution..So I thought it was this driver problem and I reinstalled the previous one. After I reinstalled, same thing happens..keep in mind I have used GPU-z for a year and it worked properly all until now...I deleted the NVIDIA drivers and tested if GPU-Z would work without it and it did..it detected my integrated Intel graphics 4000 but right when I installed again..it stops working everytime! Please help me!

Try a system restore to a restore point before you installed 344.11.

What version GPU-Z?

 

[Ap3xGam3r]

I don't want to system restore because I just downloaded a bunch of stuff I don't want to reinstall...is there any other way?

 

[RoasterMen]

Doing a system restore won't delete your downloaded stuff, it will only change back the settings they were before you updated the driver.

 

[Ap3xGam3r]

So if I were to download a game and system restore to a point when the game wasn't downloaded it would still be there?

 

[Ap3xGam3r]

Oh and I just looked for some restore points and I can't find any that are before the changes...

Unless you have a GTX970/980 GPU then there was really no need to update to the 344.11 drivers.

Also uninstall what video drivers you have on. Boot in to safe mode and run something like "Driver Sweeper" to get rid of Registry files for old/newer GPU leftovers.

Then do a clean install of 340.52 drivers.

Sigh no luck....what is wrong? Even if I reinstall the previous driver that worked with gpuz in the past does not work anymore D:

I know this thread has been quiet for some time, but a google search lead me here.

Go to the compatibility tab on the .exe properties window. Set compatibility to Windows 7. It fixed the problem for me right away. It worked on 0.7.9 and 0.8.0

K thnx for the suggestion, I'll try it out at post back the results

Version 0.7.9 crashed on mine with lastest AMD drivers...Might be because i used the installer instead of portable launch.

Anyway v0.8.0 seems have fixed bugs and i didn't went into issues with anymore, installer or portable...I'm not using " Set compatibility with".
