I have done this twice, I have ruled out heating issues, I have tried all drivers for my card from 191-258. I have used driver sweeper, I have used ccleaner to check for DLL issues, I have tried new memory, and even adding extra memory, I am running a windows XP 32 bit, 2.20Ghz Athlon AMD 64 processor, PNY/nVidia GeForce 8500GT graphics card. I tried everything I can think of, as well as this process 2 times, and my graphical errors still persist. I really do not understand it, the error just all of a sudden popped up out of no where. I was playing games for a little bit, went to take a break, came back and started up Fallout: New Vegas, and then I enter the worldspace and all a sudden it crashes, causing the whole screen to go dead. From what I know, it's what you'd call dead pixelation. After I wait about a minute, it unfreezes, except the screen still wont move, and the only thing that will play is the sound. But it is not just Fallout, it is many other games as well.

At this point you need to reinstall windows on a clean wipe if the problem presis its the gpu or some other peace of hardware, psu, could be bad ram, anything really... you will have to troubleshoot.

I have read your post at the EVGA Forums titled:
Updating/Installing/Fixing 5/6/7/8/9/200/400/500 Drivers READ (http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=224312)
 
Your information is no longer up to date. Driver Sweeper has been discontinued. And from the Guru3D forum:
 
 Driver Sweeper 2.6.0 - 10-22-2010, 20:04 | posts: 585 | Location: The Netherlands
Driver Sweeper 2.6.0 is released! 

LINK temporary removed pending investigation.

Update- until further notice we will only host v2.1 as Marcel decided to add annoying ad-ware installers inside the Driver-Sweeper setup, which we are strongly against / oppose to.

May I ask you to post a replacement How-To for installing new EVGA-nVidia drivers?
 


 

updated guys

After recently updating my nVidia driver to 270.61, I now see Windos update is offering another driver (151.7 meg) and no driver number like 270.61. Also, the windos update offers nVidia nForce Networking Controller (582 kilobytes).
 
For the first time ever, nVidia has put an nVidia icon in the system tray. Right clicking shows "New Updates Available". Does this mean I can update to an (even) newer driver and I will not have to uninstall the "old" 270.61? Is nVidia finally doing it's own uninstall ... I'm confused. I updated to 270.61 about 3 weeks ago.
 
Anybody got a clue?

Nvidia has its own uninstall but it can still leave things behind sometimes, very rare but sometimes.... they are trying at least.... Dont update your driver just because they said to... the best 200 series drivers I believe are the 16X.XX's or was it 18X.XX=/ hmmm But once fermi started to come along drivers got meh.... lag etc on the 200 series cards, in some games dealing with particle effects.

updated.

NICE TUTORIAL

Whats the latest PrecisionX I can use with my evga 295GTX? I'm still using 1.91. Please, no giggling hehehehe. And just wondering. I just got my new cables in to use 2-DVI-D and one HDMI-DVI-D cable in to finally give up on the Matrox DTH2go box. Any guidelines to go by to get my 3 LCDS running when I plug them all into the back of the 295? Thanks.

you can use the newest version of precision, shader control will be gone but other wise it will work. as for getting 3 LCD to work use the newer drivers and you should be fine.
