rtc443 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Either something crashed or your graphics driver's stoned. Should I update the driver or just leave it if everything works ok.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 That depends. Is there updated drivers for your card? You should always update to the latest drivers when possible. If none are out there, then nothing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Just go to the card manufacturers website. Mos tlikely i fyou don't know what to download, they have a tool that will diagnose tell you which driver to download or will do it for you, but allways go with the manufaturers site unless lookin for something like open source Linux drivers. Don't take a chance with third party driver sites when they could be fake or root kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
