Desktop screen flickers after updating my nvidia GTX 680m driver on my MSI GT70!

Hello, MSI!
Yesterday, I updated my MSI GT70 Dragon Edition's nvidia driver to the one suggested on my laptop'smsi page. Previously, It was running on the latest driver downloaded from nvidia itself (314.22) with no problems whatsoever. But I thought I'd give the msi's official driver a try, to see if it was better. The whole day, the laptop worked fine, even after restart, but after starting it and logging in today, the desktop screen was black and flickering. There was an Flickering error window that can't be read but the title that says ".net framework 4 error"!
Now I've googled the problem, and I might have found the solution, but I need to boot it to safe mode first, and I'm not able to. So if you, please, could tell me how to boot my GT70 to safe mode. Note that I'm not able to reach the "Run" window since the screen is black, and the laptop keeps restarting.
Awaiting you immediate response.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, flobelix!
Thanks for your instant reply.. and I'm sorry that I could not immediately reply as I lost the forum URL 
Anyways, I solved the problem!! 
I knew that the problem was caused by the driver update, so I decided to connect an external LCD monitor, and the desktop screen showed right away on it. I was curious, so I disconnected that external LCD monitor to see if the laptop's screen went back to normal, and it DID!!! Anyhow, I immediately reconnected the LCD monitor to completely delete the corrupted driver (v314.22) and reinstalled the same driver again...
And by the way, the suggested way of approaching the safe mode when the PC is not normally functioning did not work, whatsoever! I sat for at least two consecutive hours trying it.. in vein!
Again, thanks a lot.

Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating for Windows 10. The HP Support Assistant will also help find a proper driver for you to use.  Updated Windows 10 drivers will become available on the HP Drivers and Downloads Page for your product.

  • Iphone5 screen glitch after update to iOS 8.1.1

    my iphone screen glitch after updating to iOS 8.1.1.

    You need to be patient. There is no need to post again within minutes of the first post. Try force closing the App Store app and then reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Screen flickering after 10.6.3 update

    Hi,
    Am using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster monitor with my 2009 Mac Mini connected via VGA with resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60Hz and after 10.6.3 update the screen flickers allowing me to see the desktop for around 1-2 seconds. Its really annoying but the only way to get rid of it is if i change the resolution to 1600 x 1000 also at 60 Hz but everything is blurry!
    I checked the monitor manual and its recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
    Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?!
    Thank you.

    Yes, I have the exact same problem.
    I had this problem in 10.5.X as well. When I updated to Snow Leopard this went away. Now with 10.6.3 it is back again.
    I worked around this problem in 10.5 by installing switchResX and playing around with the settings for the monitor... I haven't tried that in 10.6.3 yet.
    I hope Apple fixes this soon. Being forced to use 3rd party software just to use the mac is unacceptable.

  • Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

    Hello PRE8 users,
    If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
    Best regards,
    Chad
    For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
    Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
    Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
    To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
    1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
    2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
    3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
    There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
    This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
    ***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

  • Desktop H430 problems after update to Windows 8.1

    Desktop LENOVO IdeaCentre H430 VDH3UGE Intel Core i3-3220 3,30 GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, AMD HD7570, Win8
    After updating Windows 8 to 8.1. I have problems with software on my computer including Mozilla Browser.
    Although the software installed in Windows 8, still run in update 8.1, many give problems: Sluggish, long (to very long) response time, hanging and such like. Even Mozilla Firefox worked in 8, but gave problems in 8.1, so I switched to Nightly.
    Programs like Magix MusicMaker 2013 run really bad.
    So too Arcsoft MediaImpression for Kodak
    And in general there is a sluggish/long/hanging response.
    I looked at Lenovo driver website to see if I needed updates and tried the first couple:
    Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Desktop = Realtek Audio Driver 
    h1100913.exe  !!!!
    But I must have screwed up with this download because I lost sound!!!!
    Or I screwed up with BIOS download???
    Flash BIOS update - Flash from Operating System version for H430 - Version ECJY24AUS
    But when I got to the Core-Chipsatz Drivers I really got confused!!!
    There were two options and I had no idea if I needed one, and which one, or both:
    Intel Me Driver h1100732.exe Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Intel chipset Driver h1100731.exe  Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Too complicated for me, I should have stayed away from this, have no idea which is right - or even if I needed them really. It was just because the computer worked so bad!
    Can anybody help, advise

    I no longer believe it is avast antivirus causing the problem. I think Microsoft have screwed up again. Both Spybot and Avast were no longer compatible, and had to be updated to a new version - luckily for both of these there was a new version available. For some of my other software there is not - although they all functioned on W8 !! additionally I get other strange "happenings" like a window saying there is no CD inserted when there is no CD for the program (I read somewhere of someone also mentioning this) and other strange/weird little happenings which are not supposed to happen - and for no apparent reason!
    This lenovo H430 is a really bad computer - now with 8.1 it is even worse !

  • White screen problem after updating to 1.1 firmware

    My 2G iPod Nano worked fine with 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 firmware but after updating to 1.1 I get white screen everytime I turn it on after longer period of time. Turning the iPod off and then right back on makes it work again. I have done restore 3 times without effect. I even removed the firmware files so that iTunes downloads them again when doing the restore but that didn't work either.
    Should I return it or wait for new firmware? Has anyone else had this problem after updating to 1.1?

    Disconnect iPod and close iTunes.
    Firmware files are in "Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates" folder.
    You should still have the 1.0.2 files named "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw" and "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw.signature" in there if have you upgraded from 1.0.1 version.
    Remove 1.1 files from the folder so that only those to files are in there.
    Disconnect from network (I switched off my wlan) so that iTunes can't download the new version. Connect your iPod and do Restore, iTunes will now use the old firmware files because it can't connect to the internet.

  • ZBook 14 - Can't change screen resolution after update

    After I installed some software updates the Laptop was suggesting me, my screen resolution went suddenly from 1900x1200 to 1200x720 after reboot, and it doesn't let me change it, not even to a smaller resolution. I am quite frustrated, because I will need the computer next week for visualization works and I really need the display working well. 
    It doesn't let me change the resolution. The display and graphics drivers are up to date and working properly, according to the device manager. I made a system recovery, but that just made everything worse although the resolution thing worked again, I had to run a startup repair several times before my laptop would boot propery again. This didn't solve the issue, since the display drivers weren't working properly (videos were being visualized very poorly) and even after updating them the computer wouldn't start up again, so I had to made another system recovery and now I am back to the point where I can't change the resolution and is starting to be really frustrating.
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

  • Screen flickers after boot camp 2.1 upgrade

    I have been running boot camp 2.0 and WinXP for a few weeks on my iMac 24" 3.06 Ghz 4 Gb running 10.5.5. I had installed the nvidia 177.98 drivers and they improved gaming performance and work great.
    I installed the boot camp 2.1 upgrade and the video drivers changed back to the boot camp 2.1 drivers. I re-installed the nvidia 177.98 drivers.
    I now have two issues:
    1. the monitor is listed as generic plug and play. Is there a driver for the iMac 24" display?
    2. My room is dark so I use F1 to reduce the screen brightness. The whole screen flickers or flashes continuously. IF i have the brightness up near make the flickers or flashing stops. Anyone sen this or have any thoughts?
    If i can't stop the flickering and flashing, I will eventually delete the WinXP system and re-create it and stick with boot camp 2.0.
    ..Bob

    Before you re-do everything consider other options.
    This is the procedure for uninstalling and installing drivers. A program called driver sweeper is required. To uninstall your old drivers you must boot into safe mode, uninstall your old drivers, use driver sweeper to eliminate any remaining fragments of your driver and then install new driver.

    Maybe you need to do 2.1 first? or use later drivers?
