    So after joining the GSOD club I have been reading these forums back to front. It seems that the stock drivers seem to cause no issues.

    I was just curious. How will I be affected by rolling back drivers. What do the 10.6 drivers have that the stock ones dont.

    Also how do I actually do this?

    Also every time I have uninstalled drivers before installing new ones I have received a black frozen screen where I have to hard restart.

    AND also when I install new drivers and the screen is flickering doing its thing. I get a windows error saying that the display adapter has stopped responding and has recovered. Other something along these lines.

    Has anyone got the same issue??

    I understand your frustration!
    If you are having issues running a particular game I would try a video driver upgrade. If all you apps/games run fine I would go with stock drivers. From experience you need to boot into safe mode, and run drive sweeper
    Guru3D - Driver Sweeper (Setup) download from Guru3D.com

    this program will clear whatever driver(s) are installed.
    Then you should be able to install the orignal (stock) drivers from the driver CD that came with the machine or via download from ASUS site. good luck !

    I would like to note that becareful with driver sweeper. Remove the wrong thing can get you in trouble. I lucked out when I was able to reinstall the vga/ati display from utility disk.
