Computer help forum: Graphic driver causing The Pc to not boot up

I used this driver pac: 306.97-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english.whql >>>> or 32bit if required

Get that pac and try it. If the problem returns, I strongly urge you to review your whole install listing, remove, delete and de-install all pgms. and seldom used ones. Then, defrag your "C" drive or partition. if you haven't yet, boot into safe mode and run CHKDSK /R or /F, or use the repair option and see if it finds any problem. Also, the 6600 is getting old it maybe pushing its limits compared to newer cards, it's just showing it's age not only in h/w but just accepting the latest s/w drivers. I exclude any other fault or issue.

Yeah, I have the 6600 and experienced the same problem. Sorry, fiddling here and there and doing the above seemed to correct it.

If it worked before the new drivers then return back to them. Use a restore point from your setting and select one prior to that driver install. Hopefully, it should reboot normal as it did before. Provided it does boot, then check the add/remove listing and check to see if 6600 (the new one) is present and uninstall it there too. Fully remove the new drivers. I have used REVO uninstaller in advanced more to more completely remove it.

FYI- Even though the driver I installed seems to be working now, I see no difference and/or improvement. I did this because i went from 19in. wide to 21in. and more resolution demands. My older monitor had a smaller display because it allow a higher resolution but that defeated what I wanted and went to a later model 21in..
