Is anyone else having issues with the latest nVidia video drivers (331.58)?

 

First it started with the laptop experiencing constant freezing/hanging and I finally narrowed it down to the nVidia drivers.  Once I removed it the laptop would run indefinitely whereas with the driver it might only last a few minutes before freezing again.  Then I decided to update my desktop to the latest driver and experienced the same headache!  I rolled back the driver to version 320.49 and things are smooth sailing. 

 

I'm curious if anyone else has had similar results.

331.65 is current.  Update again.  Perhaps they had an unforeseen issue they corrected right away.  No problems here on 331.65.

I had problems as well but I cured mine by updating all my MB and Microsoft updates then it seemed to go away and I checked yesterday with the can my pc run it and everything checked out fine..

So if I was you mate update everything and see how you get on...

 

I read somewhere that all new NVidia updates are configured to work along side the latest up to date Microsoft security updates ( but I cant find the bloody article now)

My desktop video card is a 465GTX and the laptop has a 560M.  Sounds like the most recent drivers won't work for me.

Thanks for your help.

did you choose the clean install from the advanced intall section because if you do not do a clean install parts of the other driver are left in the new drivers may cause conflics

that has nothing to do with the issues ....its hardware vs drivers compat issue...

I formatted the hard drive on the laptop and started clean and still had problems with the latest driver.  Looks like I'll stick to 314.22

I usually wait for a few weeks to see who get the first bullets before I update to the new drivers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I had a bad install of the driver.  My comp was doing the exact same thing.  Re-installed it minus the "NVidia gaming experience" software and all is well.
