Possible driver iussue

My brother has a 8800GTS 512 G92.

Anyway when we assembled his rig we installed what was then the latest Nvidia driver. Don't remember the exact version, but it was the one available in January. Any how he went and downloaded a newer driver, version: 182.08 and suddenly he's got problems galore.

My question is: How can I find previous driver releases?
I want to go back to the old driver and see of that corrects the issue.

Older drivers can be found by a google search (softpedia, filehippo). I have the same video card and it's working better with the latest drivers.

have you thought of a driver rollback?

right click computer, manage, device manager. find your display adapter, find its properties, roll back driver.

with luck, that will work

Yeah I know its usualy not an issue, but, at this point I'm just troubleshooting.

All I know is that he downloaded this driver and things went crazy: BSODs and all blue screen where he can only see his mouse pointer. It's crazy.

Older nVidia drivers can be found on this page. Just scroll down to the "Other drivers" section and look for the "Beta and archived drivers" link.
