Just found out, these drivers make your game crash after about 25 minutes. Does anyone know if I should use Driver Cleaner Pro for the hotfix? I was thinking it was like a patch or something. Is it a complete driver?

Hopefully this will get rid of the stalls I get in Bioshock. Thanks for the find.

Uninstalled old drivers, cleaned out with driver cleaner pro, installed new 7.9 and got a zero device error!. Then uninstalled 7.9, run driver cleaner pro again rebooted and tried to install it again, now i lost both my monitors and got the dreaded BSOD. Whiped everything clean and went back to 7.4.

Wow those new drivers really suck. Have done everything by the book but it kept me occupied for at least half a hour before i could boot normally again.
