Geforce Gt 240.screen Crashing

It sounds like there may be some issues with a previous driver installation, sometimes when you add new card, or update drivers (or if windows automatically updates) it is possible to have files from the older driver installation "stuck" or still in use that are not compatible with the newer driver, here is a brief walk through of how to clean all the video card drivers and reinstall them from a clean slate,


In order for new video card drivers to work correctly, you must first make sure that all old drivers for the video card are removed, as the old ones can conflict with the new ones, giving various errors when trying to run games ect.

Firstly, remove old drivers by navigating to device manager, and select display adapters, double click on your graphics card, select the driver tab, and select uninstall for your video card driver.

Download and install driver cleaner pro:

Once installed, reboot your computer and start in safe mode, run driver cleaner and select  Nvidia  from the drop down list to be cleaned. This will remove all remaining parts of the old driver. It should be run in safe mode as this has the best results.

Once cleaned, restart the computer. Install the new driver from the nvidia website.
