    You can try Dox's drivers from laptopvideo2go or use the nvidia ones that are kinda slow.

    1-Uninstall current driver
    2-use driver sweeper in safe mode
    3-install the above driver after part 2
    4-Download the nvidia system tools while your there
    5-now you can OC if you want but only when needed

    After you unistall the current one you have to use the .inf file and install the driver with device manager, only if the regular set-up fails.
