Out of the blue got the BSOD created by the Nvidia-related nvlddmkm.sys issue.

 

So, tried to install the latest driver after doing a Safe Mode uninstall, Registry clear-out, etc, etc.

 

Tried to install the latest 296.10 WHQL driver but when I ran the setup.exe, I get a n error message that Nvidia Installer Failed. Tried to roll back to 285 drivers,same error.

 

Anyone any idea what is causing this, or is the usual Nvidia habit of releasing buggy drivers?

Video Card? I used that driver and never had an issue. I just lost a GTX 580 VC and had a similiar scenerio! Istead of BSOD I just got a black screen. Then rebooted to black screen. Does the computer boot in safe mode with video but you try to install the drivers and get those errors? If so, the OS isn't seeing the video card.

Thanks Ardee.

 

Video card, EVGA 460GTX SE 1Gb. Got a BSOD while trying to crank the prop of a Beaver with the nvlkmmdd.sys error. Removed 285 drivers via Safe Mode,tried to install new 296, and that's when I could not install from Nvidia's set-up,and that error flagged.

 

However, in the end I got it sorted by doing a Windows Update as well as a driver update. Re-booted after WUDs and all was ok. desktop returned to previous settings. Windows Updates took care of installing the new driver.
