    P770ZM-G using a 980m (non -G model). I have flashed to the vBIOS and then updated to the latest available nVidia Drivers (384.76). Ever since then, my games have had the following crash:
    "Application "TS4.exe" has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware."

    Come on, The Sims 4 doesn't require much hardware to run. I used the INF files from this link:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/nvidia-geforce-drivers-384-76-whql.806437/

    Do you think I should drop my vBIOS back to the original that I backed up or should I try to see if I can find a different inf file for the drivers?

    The easiest would be to revert the drivers first. If that doesn't work, then flash your old vBIOS. I get a feeling it's the vBIOS though.
