Hi, 6 Months ago, I bought a new desktop and a 22' Monitor. A few days ago, I was playing a game and I came along a Nvidia Video Card update. I installed it then my Games started freezing. I shut off my PC and restarted it and after it said "Starting Windows" It went to a black screen. I tried everything I could to fix it but nothing worked. I uninstalled the Graphics Drivers In safe mode. That didn't work either. I got so tired of it I just reformatted my Hard Drive and Reinstalled Windows, But before I continued on I took out my Graphics card and running Windows fine on a VGA. Besides the games, They seem to Lag without the Graphics Card. So i'm asking you guys, Once I put my Graphics Card Back in, What should I install so this "Black Screen" Problem doesn't happen again? Thanks
Btw I'm running a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+

You said Install the Latest drivers? I got a update from Nvidia and I installed that latest driver. Then the black screen came up. Should I just install the one I had when it was working fine?

Well, It all happened on July 1st, I looked at the release dates and the Recommended/Certified one Or 320.49 Came out on July 1st So I think that's When the problem happened. I will try your Idea and Install the 320.18 Driver
