    Hello,

    Looking for some help, 5920G freezes on a black screen before loading the Vista boot logo. The cursor/mouse works and I can boot into safe mode ok. If I take ac power off and pull the battery then it will boot up ok. I have tried system restore and that works, but then the problem returns. The next step I can think of is loading a new video driver. If that is the way to go, then can someone suggest a decent driver for the 8600GT?

    Thanks in advance.
