I installed the latest drivers from NVidia (v.320.49, English), and for several days now, all works fine! The system crashed a few times, I received error messages on shut-down - and none of that occurred without those drivers, but the main problem that I used to have is gone! The computer...

Hi usasma, thanks for your reply! The point is that that same hardware worked fine with both XP and Win7. It would be quite a coincidence that it started to malfunction at the very same time I installed Win8. It could be that Win8 is not supported for my configuration (the motherboard...

Hello, I have this problem: every time I start the computer, after it has been shut down for at least a few minutes, I get a BSOD. Most of the times it's really blurry, and the message says SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and mentions the file nvlddmkm.sys but that is not the only BSOD message I get...
