    Hey all, I wanted to update the drivers for the above laptop and gpu. I tried and after the update just got a solid black screen. Now I cant revert to the original on the disc, Sager site, any from nvidia, or laptopvideo2go. I have tried literally 25 diffrent drivers ranging from 86.42 to 179.xx with the same results. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

    I did actually. I finally got a driver from ngohq.com to work for about 2 hrs. I shut the puter down to go do stuff and now I am back in the same boat. When trying to load the last one that worked, i now get a bsod that states the driver is caught in an endless loop.... I dunno maybe the card is on its way out.

    very strange. are you using vista or windows 7 as ive seen a few posts about 7 and drivers.
    if your using 7 can you reinstall vista and try that and if it works we then know the problem.
    i recommend official 186.81 as the best ive tried so far.
