So, I have had a problem for some time now every time I go to install newly released video drivers. I have found that it has taken me hours of downloading, backing up and restoring, BSODs, freezes, black screens, etc before I am able to finally install Nvidia drivers properly. It is getting to the point where I always dread new driver day!
My set up is
Asus Maximus V Formula
i7 3770k
32 gigs of Ram
GTX 680 in SLI
My monitors are
Samsung Syncmaster P2770
Benq BL2710
I have recently found that if I disable my second monitor, disable SLI, reboot, perform a clean driver install, reboot, enable second monitor, enable SLI, reboot, it tends to get through the process with less hiccups (Although on this last driver 347.09, I did get a BSOD during the driver install, but was able to get through it the second time).
My question is, does anybody else have issues like this when installing new video drivers? I know a friend of mine just does an express install using GeForce Experience every time a new driver comes out, and he never has any issues; the entire process takes him like 2 minutes. Also, is there anything else that I can do to minimize these types of headaches during driver installs? Does anybody actually bother installing drivers in safe mode?
