GPU issue; Nvidia GTX360M ; blacking out / freezing

The issue I'm having is having two unexpected results. One is just normal freezing; the other is that occassionaly(especially when playing games, but not always) my screen will 'spaz' out and go in and out of just a plain black screen a few times and then it either 'recovers'(I get a popup saying Nvidia driver 260 has recovered) or it causes my entire system to freeze forcing me to hold the power button and shutting down.

I never had this issue before updating my drivers, so I'm wondering if this was a driver issue? Previously I had a very outdated driver

And after wanting to play some newer games I was prompted by one game inparticluar that my video driver was too out of date in order to play it and had to install at least(some version I don't remember). Due to this I decided to install the latest drivers from Dells website[even though they are also very old].

I guess I'm curious could this be because of a corrupted install on the driver? Is there anyway for me to scan for anomalies or anyting of the sort? Is this a known issue? Things of that nature. I'm not exactly very tech savvy and actually had convinced a Dell employee to install the latest drivers a while back, in which he downloaded the driver and acted to install them(but actually didn't) so I ended up installing them myself. - I followed the instillation instructions perfectly so I don't think it's something I did.

I also just got a pop up after restarting my computer after freezing(while playing Lord of the Rings: Online) that was talking about a blue screen; but I've never actually gotten a blue screen. It said the below:

Any help, direction, or information would be greatly appreciated. I intend to call Dell tomorrow, but I feel that I won't get an answer to any of my questions; so my best hope is you guys

 

Hello, starrywisdom, do this:

Now you can install whatever driver from nVIDIA for your 260M, if the nvdm.inf is missing the IDs of your GPUs just add them manually and you're good to go.
Remember always uninstall your previous display drivers first, restart and boot to Safe Mode, clean your registry with something like CCleaner, reboot and install the new drivers choosing 'perform clean install'.


Cheers

 

Thanks for the link and info - I'll have to give that a go tommorow. Is this a fix that's been working for everyone or is it just a 50/50 chance?

Just wanted to note Just checked my reliability monitor the first time I got the 'Video Hardware error'

was on date 8/27/2011. On 8/9/2011 is when I installed the driver(says the reliability monitor)

Spoiler

Driver Management concluded the process to install driver FileRepository\nvdm.inf_amd64_neutral_47b0a9989e2029f7\nvdm.inf for Device Instance ID PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0618&SUBSYS_02A11028&REV_A2\4&A6937CB&0&0068 with the following status: 0x0.

Just curious as to why this is just happening now. I haven't installed anything between those two dates(with the exception of Window auto-update) and have been playing the exact same games[actually a lot less as well]. Just seems weird that it took a while for the issues to start popping up - is this normal?

 

The problem as I understand could be an issue with malware, faulty RAM or hdd, dust blocking air flow and vents. If these check out be fine, then your gpu is dying.

 

I followed these exact instructions and played a little bit of a pretty low intensive game(LOTRO) for about 2 hours and my card froze and turned my screen black and neon green.

I've got a feeling that my GPU is going / overheating. Can anyone confirm this for sure; or is this another issue?

 

normally, if you can get to 2 hrs of gameplay and then you get freezing, it usually points to overheating as the cause.

Download MSI afterburner and log your temps to a txt file while you are playing the game. See what your temps are.

 

His issue It's not temperature related

 

Yea, I can freeze anytime between 30 seconds to 8 hours; theres no real consistency.
