    Last time I updated my Graphics Card Driver, I couldn't overclock the GPU. It may be the system board's problem. If any of you upgraded your driver to the latest & still able to overclock, please let me know which driver you installed & whether you uninstalled the older driver or not.

    Yea, no issues here.

    Beta 295.51
    MSI Afterburner 2.1

    No uninstall, the installer does that for you before updating.

    Unfortunately I can't update it. It says it's not compatible.

    I have 290.36 Beta, the software I use to OC is NVIDIA System Tools, it's a separated software where you install it, it'll merge with your current NVIDIA Control Panel, and I'm OC at 780/1560/1080, pretty stable, I can OC up to 800/1600 without crashing most game (except for BF3).

    I think that maybe the problem that most people who own the GF116 version of the GT555M are having, follow this link to the thread that discuss that problem, you might be able to find some solutions.
