I see you are still having problems.

I'm referencing back to your resolution problem thread.
Have you considered or done a Repair Install? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

Just a thought but there might be a Windows registry error that occured with uninstalling ATI drivers and installing the Nvidia's etc.
I know it is annoying to you.
It is me also that it hasn't been resolved.

Something to consider if you haven't tried it yet. You may have and I forgot.

Mike

Otherwise I haven't found anything new.

 

[Britton30]

Thanks Mike. I've not went the repair install route....yet. I am now trying the other beta driver from the nVIDIA site.
I just noted your graphics card is identical to mine.

 

[Hopalong X]

Yes same graphics card.

I just thought I'd throw the Repair Install in there as a possible remedy.
I haven't found anything new otherwise.

Nice, I'll install the new driver and see how it goes.

I just submitted a report to those gurus and MVP's in the BSOD forum too to see what they can find.
I have found some .dll and other files (I forgot the extension) which are definitely from ATI, but some MAY be realted to my AMD CPU, so I think I'll leave those be for now. thanks for your concern buddy.
update: None of the nVIDIA drivers have changed anything.

Yeah, these are pretty nice for a change.

Yea gaming's good on them, but still crap blu-ray playback in PowerDVD 10 with Nvidia PureVideo enabled.

Installed the 270.51 BETA and using paint.NET I BSoD'd. this happened three times with PDN doing a different task each time.

Have you tried re-installing them, but using Driver Sweeper to properly clear everything?

 

[Britton30]

Hi Everlong, yes I've re-re-re-installed using nVIDIA's "clean install" option each time.

Hi Everlong, yes I've re-re-re-installed using nVIDIA's "clean install" option each time.

I don't know how "clean" Nvidia's option is though. Driver Sweeper will find and clean every remnants of the driver that gets left over after an uninstall.

Be sure to use the Phyxion version of Driver Sweeper, because the original version is no longer supported.

WHQL 270.61 are released.

They're just on the geforce.com/uk.geforce.com websites at the moment.

Or if you installed the Nvidia Updater with 270.51 beta drivers, you'll get a notification.

 

[Brink]

Thank you Harry. First post updated.

Do note everyone that it may be a bit before being fully available at NVIDIA. They are just now being updated there.

 

[Everlong]

Guess they're trying to get more people visiting the geforce websites :huh:

 

[Britton30]

WHQL 270.61 are released.

I will give this one too. Thanks Harry!

No problem Hopefully you'll have more luck with it.

I've just installed 270.61 with my 260GTX and no problems so far. The 270.51 seemed to put up my temps slightly, 1 or 2 degrees. As soon as these have been installed I'm cool again

Nice John! I'm using the new WHQL 270.61 as well and my color profiles are staying but my resolution still changes on every reboot.

 

[IownAmoneyPit]

Drivers now available on NVIDIA site, Thanks for the heads up.

Mine have lowered a couple of degrees as well

WHQL 270.61 working very good here haven't seen any issues yet. Nice improvement in some games over the last WHQL for my 560 (266.66). Slight improvement over the beta 270.51. This one's a keeper for me.
