    Uninstall the drivers, reboot into Safe Mode, then run Driver Sweeper & CCleaner, reboot again into Safe Mode, then install the new drivers. See if the same problem happens again.

    how do i get into safe mode?

    also i remember even before today i always had a problem with the program driver sweeper, it always asked for an ini file or something it gives me alot of problems, is there anyway i can just run cccleaner and it will fix it? im going to uninstall these drivers and download the new 180.48... ill let you guy know if i run across any problems and also if i see any difference in performance, but again how do i get into safe mode?
