Lately I've been playing games using my onboard graphics card, no idea what it is, but I knew well I had a GTX 650 Ti in my computer. I took the driver disc out of the box it came in, installed the drivers, and I managed to get a few games running on much higher graphics setting with higher FPS. The problem is, my computer was extremely unstable. It starts freezing with and without looping the last few milliseconds of sound randomly, and also restarts without any form of warning as if there was a power shortage for half a second. The drivers that came on the disc are 335.23, and I have tried updating the drivers in multiple fashions.
Manually uninstalling previous drivers, and clean installing the latest from the Geforce website, clean installing them straight from the website (both 335.23 and the latest), and installing the drivers whilst keeping old settings and drivers, but to no avail.
Every time I install a driver from the website, either my GPU still runs on the disc's drivers, or doesn't run them at all.
I'd really like help with this, my computer freezing and restarting at random points isn't exactly my cup of tea.
There are also no memory dumps or crash files made when it freezes/restarts. So please don't ask for them.
~Thank You
I've found a fix for this myself! Apparently my GPU doesn't support the "Game Ready" drivers. I assume the version I was using originally was corrupted or wasn't as optimized as it was in the newest update that wasn't Game Ready. The newest driver that isn't Game Ready is 341.44, for anyone having this same issue.
Thank you MuggleNSU for stating the most likely cause, though. ^.^
