Hey peeps,
While playing Oblivion, I would encounter crashes quite often. I assumed that this was because my display drivers were out of date. I am still operating off of the drivers that came on a CD with the card. After installing the updated driver 190.38 WHQL for windows vista 64 bit, I could not get rivatuner to allow me to overclock the card. In fact there is no overclocking settings even available. The second driver area where you can click the card icon and bring up the overclocking settings is not there. It just says, "The display drivers not detected" at the top of the empty box. Since I couldn't get rivatuner to work I downloaded ntune. After downloading that I clicked the shortcut and I got a BSOD. When my computer restarted, I noticed that the "ntune" and "ntune monitoring" shortcuts were both just white paper icons that could not be double clicked (meaning I couldn't start them up). I deleted them seeing as they were useless and then right clicked on the desktop and went into nvidia control panel. There I saw a new tab labeled performance, ntune must have added this feature. I clicked on the tab and said yes to the user license agreement and BAM, BSOD. I'm guessing that I am having fat driver compatibility issues. I'm sure I have to clean the drivers and start over anew.
My questions are;
1. What's the process involved in removing display drivers from your computer? (I have never done it before).
2. What drivers should I install? Since apparently the ones I chose weren't correct.
Oh shit didn't even mention what kind of card I have, it's a MSI 9600 GT.
