    Hi guys very new to using modded drivers , when I install the 353.06 I was given a link to everything is as it should be , but if I try any other modded driver they all install ok but when I restart the system it boots initially ok but after doing a few bits it eventually freezes to the point I have to do a hard reset , and the only way to stop it is to quickly disable the 980m in device manager and then when I restart all is ok again unistall , so always have to revert back to the 353.06 as they seem to be the only modded drivers that work ...I use laptops2go input the required info
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05AA1028 filter and download , overwrite the nv_dispi with the downloaded one , disable signature , install which goes without a hitch and then restart and all these problems start ....please any ideas why this is happening ....what am I doing wrong .....thanks in advance .

    All sorted , I just edited the nvdmi.inf instead of the nv_dispi.inf and all works as it should , just downloaded the latest drivers , added my hardware id etc into the 980m already listed in the inf file and it works fine ...
