Problems after downloading a new driver.

Well, the problem is, whenever I start games, it restarts the computer like that.

No problems BEFORE the update... I'm wondering if I should do a system restore, or to just find a way to fix this ;-;

 

Bad driver install, redownload the same driver and reinstall in safe mode. If that doesn't work try a different version.

 

Any more details like which card you are using, along with what drivers you just installed, as well as the operating system you are using. The way you described the problem a system restore would work. Possibly reinstalling them may work as well. Check to make sure the drivers where for your model. If worse come to wore you can uninstall your drivers completely and then reinstall them. This should solve the problem

 

do a system restore, but you need to find out the problem >> it's got to be a driver, probably video...

BUT WHAT OS AND WHAT UPDATE??

 

I have a 82915G, 910G intel graphics card...

I downloaded the driver from here, I have Windows XP Media Center edition

Bump. Help please?

 

How did you installed the driver??

It is always safe to:
1) Uninstall the actual driver. Restart.
2) Install the new driver. Restart.
..
..
.no matter from where are you downloading, unless it is an automatic update (like Windows Update).

 

Did you try either reinstalling the graphics drivers or a system restore?

 

I see what I did wrong... I think. I didn't uninstall the first driver before I installed the new one...

I'm going to do a system restore... uninstall the old driver, restart, and install the new one, restart. Right?

 

My recommendations, similar to others;

- Uninstall current Driver , reboot & Re-install the driver in safe mode.
- Re-install DirectX (I've seen a corrupt install mess this up).
- Roll back to restore point (be sure all your other changes aren't overwriting a good one).

You could try using DriverCleanerPro, but if you don't know what you're doing you don't want to uninstall the wrong driver.

Barring all of the above, uninstall all drivers, repair windows and then download defaults, and if that doesn't work, then complete wipe & re-install (after backing up your data of course).

 

Yes, best method if you have problems, especially with sticky drivers.

Some programs do a good job of doing that themselves or of installing right overtop of the old, but for others it's best to nuke the old before you load the new.
