AHH im going crazy!!
BRAND NEW MSI 1719 W 8600GT
when trying to load graphix card driver, half way through... the screen starts flickering then the pc crashes. iv called RJ tech where i bought it and they said to flash the bios so after days of figurin out how to flash the bios and learning that my laptop came with 1.0c version which was actualy a vista version. so i got exited when i found the right version for XP which is what i use. i would never use vista... yet... so please dont suggest it ...anyway i finaly got the bios updated to the xp version and guess what!! i still cant get the GC drivers to load and it still crashes the whole sys.... serious error and all. iv even downloaded the drivers from nvidia just to try it... iv been using the disk that came w the laptop....
im getting majorly peed off..... iv always been an ati fan (believe it or not) and you can guess what im thinking.

Have you tried video card drivers from laptopvideo2go.com?

Here is a installation guide for installing lv2go drivers with a modded .inf from the Updating video card drivers sticky

1. Click on the driver version (ex: 91.33) to download the drivers.

2. Once finished, double-click the .exe file and extract all drivers (default location is your desktop). A folder will appear with the name of the version of the driver (ex: 91 33). The installation process will not start yet (you don't want it to anyway).

3. Still on the LaptopVideo2Go website, right click the .INF and hit "Save Link As...". Put it somewhere.

4. Now, take that .INF file, and drag it into the extracted drivers folder. Overwrite when prompted.

5. Now you will be able to install the drivers (you needed to replace the .INF file to do that).

6. Open the extracted drivers folder.

7. Double-click Setup.exe, follow the instructions.

Click to expand...
