Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Hello name is Ralph and Im new to the forums. I recently decided to upgraded my Alienware M15X graphics card from 260M to 560M. Everything was fine until a few months ago where my card started crashing constantly. I noticed that my drivers are not up to date I have the 285.62 version and latest version is 296.10 but every time I've tried updating the driver's I will get this error message saying that it does not recognize my graphics card installed.
Okay I've tried the clean install still gave me the same message. When I tried re-installing the old drivers 285.62 for the Nvidia website it also gave me the same problem. However I found the 285.62 driver file install on my documents already extracted and ran the exe inside the folder and that worked. I'm guessing it worked because it was modded? I dont know I think those are the files that the tech modded to install the driver when I upgraded the cards. Question is how will I do this myself if I need to update drivers?.
Please if anyone knows a helpful link of how to update my drivers or if anyone knows why my card keep crashing please reply to this thread. I've tried everything and really don't have the money right now to send computer to a tech. Help will be greatly appreciated. Ty
Please need help with 560M Upgrade
