As of the last two Geforce game ready driver update causes blue screen. I've never encountered blue screen on my PC before.

The PC will restart to recover itself, however once it has finished the driver has been installed anyway and its back to normal.

I haven't got much to say about it other than i find it peculiar that its installed the driver after the recovery process anyway. So i'm not entirely sure what would be causing it to bluescreen.

It occurs at the stage where the old driver is uninstalled and is being replaced (Where the screen will usually go black and come back on. However it will flicker once more and hit this error).
 
Solution
Understandable, however, failure to complete installation of drivers is generally due to a previously failed manual driver installation, registry glitch or issues with the automatic software itself. I'd recommend uninstalling the Nvidia driver software, the Geforce utility and any tweaking utilities. Then following the clean install procedure at the link listed above followed by the reinstallation of your Geforce utility.

I have the Corsair VS650W. However i have had this PC for almost a year and have not encountered problems using it. That doesn't mean it might not be faulty now, however my gaming experiences have not faltered due to this issue that occurs upon updating the game ready driver. It is simply in the process of installing the driver but is still at its topmost capabilities after recovering.
