I'm not familiar with this problem but I know some one that can help, go to 3dguru.com, this guy is the Master when it comes to nvidia graphics. Good luck with drivers.

I am having the same problem. I updated my driver for my graphics card on my 5745pg with Geforce 330m and it froze within minutes and the driver and hardware could not be detected after that. Now I can't install drivers for it because the computer doesn't see it. I tried booting in discrete mode, but it just comes up black because I dont have the back up "Standard VGA Driver" either. It was showing error and now it is gone from device manager. Any other ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue...can anyone offer help?

 


Hi :)

Certain laptops just will NOT take the drivers from Nvidias site....you MUST use the graphics drivers from the Manufacturers site ONLY...

All the best Brett :)
