Were you having a problem with the old Nvidia driver? If not, remove the new driver and install the old driver.

I suspect it is the NVidia drivers you installed. I installed them yesterday and had multiple problem with my system that normally runs great. I Reimaged the drive back to the 23rd of September, last time I made an image, and haven't had problems since.

Anythings possible, do you download without scanning before you open ?

Do a restore to b4 your problems started.

maybe the nvidia driver ,whent back to the 295.73 all other drivers3xx.xx all gave me problems the 306.23 seem to have worked but 3 days later i got the restarts .

been on the 295.73 for 2 days and let it just idle and no restarts . But i well check it when i get home and see if its still up and running

Just for a example. This works for my card and I don't know if it will work with other cards. New drivers don't always do what is expected.
