    I've downloaded numerous drivers from gateway and nvidia. I got the 176.5 64 bit driver and installed it. Since I've done this I've had problems with the video driver failing. It also has been changing the resolution on my screen at the start of a program. Is there a different driver I should install? Do I need to change some settings somewhere? What should I do?

    Don't use nvidia drivers, they're rubbish for performance.
    Get dox's optimized forceware and you'll never look back!
