Righty, this will be a tad lengthy but here goes....
Having been using my current GPU for awhile now nearly a year it has given me no problems at all, however 3 weeks ago or so I left to go away on holiday but before going installed a new heat sink on the CPU and updated my drivers for my 9800GX2. It all went smoothly, powered down and went away for 10 days or so. Upon return the computer booted up, did the windows loading screen...and BSOD'ed. And would do so every single time beacuse of 'nvldddmkm.sys'. I figured there was a problem with the install, booted up safe mode disabled the GPU. Back to normal and checked for any more updates to the card, there was downloaded installed. And still BSOD.
Suitablly annoyed, I uninstalled the GPU entierly, and installed it again with the drivers it was shipped with. This time it didn't BSOD, it just loaded windows, then when it should have gone to my password. It went to a black screen and wouldn't do anything, and doesn't do anything. I have even reinstalled vista with the old lot partitioned to see if that would work and still the same problem!
So in short. With the latest updates I get BSOD every time it goes to the password screen on loading. And with the default drivers it just gives me a black screen!
I am all out of ideas, so if anyone could shed some light on this problem would be very grateful!
