Video Card Driver Problem

[BBF]Gamer · 10-18-2008, 01:24 AM

Hello,

I have Vista 64 Bit SP1 and I have been having Video Card Driver problems.

When loading games, the screen may get black areas or get white lines that can cover part or all of the screen.

When playing games, my game may freeze.

My computer sometimes flips out and brings up a blue error screen talking about my video card drivers then it will go away and restart my computer.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT and I downloaded the drivers for it off of the Nvidia site.

If someone could give me the correct drivers I need or help me fix the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

I just want to be able to play my games with no problems. ;)

Motherboard: Acer F690GVM
