Hi, today I made a massive error. I was about to hop on and play a bit of CS:GO and I noticed it was flickering (it had never done this before) so, as you do, I started Googling what I could do to prevent it. I tried numerous things, then came to this one post which said uninstall it and start again, so I followed the instructions. It told be to go on the Control Panel, go on System, and click uninstall on my Nvidia graphics card. Then it said to just go on the Nvidia website and install the correct drivers again.
I tried this, it came up with 'your driver cannot be found' or something along those lines, and now I cannot find a post which will solve my problem. I would appreciate any help.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Try this. Run DDU from safe mode: http://www.wagnardsoft.com/
Have it search out and uninstall the nvidia driver. Yes, I know, you already uninstalled it. But something went wrong. DDU will clean out all the entries in the Registry pertaining to the nvidia driver and its various associated files.

When you boot back to the desktop, install the latest nvidia driver again.
