    Hi everyone! My old Acer 7720G's nVidia 9500m GS had finally gone after being almost 4 times oven trick'ed. So I finally managed to get an Acer VG.9PG06.006 9600m GT 512MB DDR3 and installed it. The card works fine during boot (so I think I don't need to reflash the system BIOS, am I right?!) and my desktop shows up with Microsoft's standard video card driver (BTW I'm running with Win10x64). But as soon as I try to install whatever version of nVidia driver I get a BSoD (VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE).

    And here comes the problem: I've read this post and changed my VBios, but I still get the BSoD when installing the driver...

    Here's a GPU-Z shot (also, why the card memory isn't detected?)

    Can anyone help please? Thank you so much in advance ;)
