SHOULD I update my card's BIOS?
 
What is the purpose? Will it give me elite graphics? LOL.
 
Glad you're working Man!
 
I lost an SSD last night in R0, so I had to rebuild with one SSD. I installed the newest drivers without a hiccup, glad because I would have probably shot my rig if I had video driver issues after losing most of my data from a Raid crash.

I am extremely happy to report that Nvidia driver 296.10 has completely solved my issue with cold boot driver failure.

It was NOT a system, config or OS problem... it was a driver bug, that has now been patched.

I am pleased to (at last) be able to run current official signed Nvidia drivers after 5 months of being stuck on 285.79

Thank you to all (and to EVGA) for your support, suggestions and helpfulness in this matter.

My issue is resolved


Glad to hear you're back up and running!   hopefully it won't take Nvidia another umpteen drivers (beta and whql) to get decent drivers out again.  I took Hemi's suggestion and 296.10 is running great on a fresh hard drive with fresh install here (it kept bsod and crashing to desktop on other hard drive)  and to me at least it appears these drivers have better IQ than the last few. let me know what your results are on IQ in games (esp. Skyrim)

Zuhl,  I would create a system restore point, then update your LAN drivers.  Since it seems to be confirmed it was a driver bug, I don't foresee any problem now updating your LAN to the latest driver.

I updated the LAN driver to version 7.50 earlier today from 7.46 but haven't restarted yet. There was really no reason for me to update except that I like to keep all of my drivers up to date. As far as 'Restore Points' go, I create one every morning. Since my Vertex 3 drives can be unpredictable and fail without warning and RAID0 setups can be twice as likely to fail, I create a full 'System Image' every night and 'Backup' all data. The advantage of pushing over 1,100 MB/s of data is that a 'System Image' of 174 GB only takes around 10-11 minutes. Thanks for your previous help getting things up and running with an older LAN driver and thanks for the last reply.
