Graphics drivers crashing repeatedly

On the laptop listed below, using the 305.53 drivers just updated from the 301 drivers. For some reason, this all started recently. I tried introducing a new mod into Skyrim, but it instead started creating graphical problems on the main menu screen instead. These problems now have spread out to Windows, where I get random pauses and the screen flashes, and a message then says the driver recovered from a serious error. Even after recovering, there will be odd anomalies on the screen at times, like blinking areas or corrupted sections. Restarting doesn't help.

Any ideas on what this could be?

 

You're supposed to wait 24 hours before bumping your thread.

305.53 sounds like a beta driver to me, have you tried reverting to 301.42 WHQL and try removing the mod as well. When you modify something and your system starts to have problems, start by reverting back to the previous know working configuration if you can't find a solution. That is what i'd try if the problem comes back.

 

301.42 were the drivers I had originally, and were causing this problem. I upgraded to 305.53 in response to the same issue. For now, it seems to be stable again, but I'll have to maybe try something below 301 to see if they fix it.

 

301.42 while "WHQL" did cause a lot of issues to people for a WHQL release. You wouldn't be the first to revert back to 296.x.
