    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering does anyone know what the most stable nvidia driver is atm?
    The reason that I am asking is because, when I was streaming videos for a long period of time the video would start to glitch really bad and gets worse the longer I stream/ watch videos
    This is for a
    nvidia 105m
    hp dv4t

    Are you already running a recent driver? Do the drivers from the nvidia.com website install without you having to mod them?

    The most stable drivers are probably the ones that are provided by your laptop brand, for you that would be HP.

    If you want the latest that are stable, then go to nvidia.com

    That doesn't even sound like a driver issue. Why would the driver have a time limit on how long you can continuously stream video? Check system temperatures first.
