    I have an Alienware 17R1 that i use an MSI 1060 and a Zotac 1070 in. I have windows 10 pro installed currently and It recently updated to 1803. Now my modified drivers have stopped working and I get a blank screen unless I reset the drivers. I downloaded that latest version of the nvidia drivers as I heard they are now signed officially for the m18xr2 but they will not install on my system. I was hoping one of you guys might have a solution or might be able to modify the new drivers to work on my system which I will pay for. If anyone has any suggestions or modified drivers for me then let me know. I am terrible at modding drivers and I'd rather just pay someone for their efforts. Thanks

    Maybe you can compare your system with @loafer987

    my modded infs cause my screen to go black every time I install them, but after I reboot (using external monitor) they are back to normal. mine are also modded to only add my msi 1070, so yours would have difference ID strings.
