Hi,

I had a strange problem yesterday with my monitor and CPU with Windows 8 installed. I have Nvidia 9500 GT(512MB) and i updated it with this latest update 314.07-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql. When i restart, Monitor starts flickering. Then i just googled to find out what might be the reason. Some of them told, remove the latest update by logging into safe mode and restart again.

I did the same and now my monitor is fine. I would like to know whether any one have faced the same problem like this. And it is advisable to reinstall the latest Nvidia update????????????

My config is in my signature

Maybe a specific hardware issue, wait for the next update

for GPUs that old, stick to older drivers. when i used the GT520 with v298 driver, every game ran fine.. but when i updated to 300-something, all the games stuttered. rolling back to the 298, everythin was fine again..

Reinstall the older driver. As your card is very old, these new drivers won't improve the performance a bit.
