Wondering if my graphics card is shot.
I've been running Windows 7 for about 1-2 weeks without any problems. My cousin installed a game on my pc last night (which i've since uninstalled), and now my display driver is acting crazy.
I'm constantly getting "Display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version ..... stopped responding and has successfully removed" This is constantly occurring and Windows is unusable.
The windows event log shows "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" eventid 4101.
I've noticed some other posts with similar issues, but can't find a solution.
I've tried removing the driver by uninstalling through device manager, running a utility that is supposed to clean up drivers, and installing various versions of the win7 driver.
Card is a Geforce 6200 LE.
PC will run fine in Safe Mode.
Any ideas what could've caused it to stop working? Is it possible that my video card just kicked the bucket? I'm close to running out to buy a new video card.
Thanks for any help.
