    Did you do a clean install when you installed the latest drivers?
    What i do, is when I install the Nvidia drivers, I click on Custom setup, remove Nvidia 3D Vision component (as it's useless to install them, as I don't have Nvidia 3D stuff nor monitor for it), and check the box option to perform a clean install.

    Might be worth uninstalling all the nvidia stuff, running driver sweeper and then reinstalling the nvidia stuff as GoodBytes said.

    So I uninstalled everything and installed the newest beta drivers and of course it crashed but now it tells me that the error relates to the following files:

    C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\WERD96D.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
    C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\WERF1ED.tmp.appcompat.txt
    C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\WERF400.tmp.mdmp

    Any idea what this means??
