Video W510 driver crash - is it OK to use the latest drivers from NVIDIA

About once a week my NVIDIA driver hangs and Windows retrieves. The drivers installed are the 257,38 who are the latest from Lenovo. But NVIDIA has 266.58 available and I would like to see if that fixes the problem. Is this ok to download and install a driver from NVIDIA?

It should work - give it a try.

I use NVIDIA 266.58 on my W701. It seems more stable than in previous versions of 2xx.

    My new HP Envy worked very well and the HP updates became available, so I accepted their. 85% of the way through the updates, I lost wifi capabilities and updates stopped. A message popped up that I needed to restart. I did it. It seemed he was installing the updates normally but then it just hung. I let it sit for probably an hour. I then had to force a reset to get out if the State suspended. When he returned to the top, he got to the login screen. After my password, it showed the circle of activity moving, but then after a minute or two, he went to a black screen with the exception of my mouse cursor. He never leaves this State except when I press CTRL-ALT-DELETE. If I select Sign Out, he is suspended in this State. If I click on the Task Manager, it goes back to a black screen and does nothing.

  • WITH video card driver, windows freezes after 10 seconds after the Welcome screen, WITHOUT a driver, it works fine

    Hi guys,.

    I recently had the problem that when I start my computer, it freezes after 10 seconds when I saw the Welcome screen.
    I'm in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. I have uninstall ALL my Nvidia drivers and then restart the computer in normal mode, and then everything works fine. I go to the Nvidia website again, download the latest drivers and the same freezing problem happens again. I also tried with older drivers provided by Nvidia, still the same problem.
    Completely, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows 7. I install drivers Nvidia and the same problem again.
    I have a Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
    The processor is Intel Duo Core converted E6850 (boxed)

    Everyone knows that the problem is?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I tried my best :)

    Hello.

    The video card drivers enable the features of the card to use.  When in safe mode or with no driver installed only the basic functions of the card are used.  If the card is faulty, which is more likely, the defective part of the map has probably come into play with the full drivers installed.  This explains why it works with the Basic setting.

    Another possibility is to download and run the appropriate drop-down list update, even if it is the same version that you already use.

    Your profile says 10.6.8 which is probably not correct, that you post in the forum of the EC.

    So, assuming you are using the current 10.11.5, you can download the update Combo directly from Apple here:

  • Portege R700-1CZ - cannot use the latest driver of fingerprints

    My fingerprints camera worked fine until I updated the drivers yesterday to the latest version.

    I mainly use it to login in and encryption of files, but now I n t get this option. I uninstalled and installed again, tried reinstalling the software but nothing. When I go into control panel > biometric devices > use your fingerprint with Windows, I get the message that there is no app management installed. But when I check in the programs installed, I see "Authec Tec Winbio FingerPrint Soft" installed.

    Any help?

    Hello

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the fingerprint software which works correctly.
    First, I recommend you to uninstall the software to print digital also you can uninstall the driver in Device Manager too.
    Restart the unit, clean the system and registry run CCLeaner (freeware tool. If you have not installed it in the past, do so before installing the software of fingerprint).

    Then install the software of fingerprint to the driver page.
    Restart again, run the test.
