My last VGA died like three weeks ago and today i received the new one i bought; the VGA in itself seems to works perfectly, but for some reason my computer has slowed down significantly, the only reason i can think of is the new card as everything worked better with the old card before it died.
I also had a bluescreen after i updated the new card's driver, it hasn't happened again since then, but it involved the driver dxgkrnl.sys and had the bugcheck 0x00000117 according to Bluescreenview, im pretty sure i saw the blue screen saying that my video card driver was acting up as well though.
im thinking that it might have something to do with old drivers, but im not sure and im kinda scared of running driverfusion (have read that it can hurt my computer permanently quite badly).
can anyone offer any help?
