New gtx460..

[kevin_woods15]

So i just got my new gaming rig set up. all i do is watch videos in HD and play wow on it, but my gtx 460 cuts out randomly sometimes. when im watching/playing something full screen (23" moniter, accures more when in full 1080p hd) the game/video stops, my screen goes completely black. and i get a message saying that the nvideo gtx460 driver failed and recovered.. this is extremely anoying sometimes. it can happen every 3 seconds to every hour. i have reinstalled the drivers twice and have put the video card in a different slot and it hasnt helped..

So, it's time to try the latest driver for your card...

 

[Maziar]

Right^ install the latest drivers and tell us the results

 

[kevin_woods15]

installed latest drivers once again, and it didnt fix the problem..

 

[Maziar]

Try doing a clean install of your drivers(forgot to mention),here is how
1_Download driver sweeper (from guru3d.com)
2_Go to control panel and uninstall your current driver
3_Reboot and go to safemode and open driver sweeper and click on Nvidia,then choose clean
4_Boot normally and Install the latest driver again.

Did the steps above, and it didnt help. comes up with the same message: nvidia display drivers stop responding and recovered.

Then do the steps again with different driver (older)...

 

[Maziar]

Have you tried disabling Windows Aero too ?

One suggestion:
Remove all drivers and install ONLY the original drivers which came on the disk with the card.

Let's take it on from there...

 

[kevin_woods15]

tried to do it again wit hthe safe mode.. didnt work. and just played wow with the disk driver and it still did it..

 

[kevin_woods15]

disabled windows aero, helped abit but it happened again.

Try lowering the clocks to stock on the graphic card and see if that helps the stability, use afterburner.
