Nvidia driver problems

Just something to look out for if you use an nvidia card.
A couple of days ago I used the geforce experience to update my gpu drivers to 320.49 and there were some problems.
I had noticed that the nvidia icons were no longer in the tray and didn't notice much because I wasn't gaming much and had my intel graphics running anyway.
I was playing sleeping dogs and getting some lagging so wanted to adjust the settings in nvidia control panel for it.
Then I noticed that none of my gpu programs were running. Geforce had messed up the driver install so I didn't have a gpu for days. I had to go to the nvidia side and manually install the drivers and re-install the geforce experience as it wouldn't work because it couldn't detect any nvidia gpu.

I'm not sure if it's a once off problem with geforce experience or something between it and the latest drivers but just something to watch out for it updating your gpu drivers through it, make sure it's done right.

 

Thanks! I use the same program but I am not sure if I installed the drivers yet. I got a message yesterday but I did not click it. Only lag I am seeing right now is with YouTube Ads. The Ads are lagging into the main part after I skip the add. I ran PS2 yesterday and all seemed well. Thanks for the tips! I will keep my eyes open for the same problem.

 

Since I've had a couple of BSoDs with the latest drivers, I reverted to 314.22. I prefer a stable system over a fast system.

A lot of people have been complaining about the latest batch of updates, join the club

 

So the BSoD's may not be the hardware? Sweet, I need to revert then.

 

Haven't had any since reverting, so I guess my hardware is fine.
And yes, yours could still be fine as well.

 

I haven't had any problems yet. But I have a couple of older driver packs saved on my pc if I want to roll back.
Actually kinda impressed that my intel hd4000 graphics could actually run a game like sleeping dogs

 

Yeah I've been having problems the last week or so, since I messed around with my drivers to play an older game-reinstalled the drivers before I realized I had to install a legacy driver pack. I just realized I'd been using a newer beta driver before that, which I've had no problems with, so i've reverted to the newer drivers, if that makes sense. hardware seems fine-except for my overheating issue, which is completely seperate.
