I don't agree with him about using driver updates for your computer that the manufacture does not have. Last year I was having problems with my video card in my Toshiba notebook, I could not do some heavy duty 2D tasks without problems occurring.

I ran BIT, BurnInTest and 2D failed. Sent the log file to the maker of the program, he said out dated driver, or a system board failure.

I tried updating the Nvidia drivers from the video card website as per the Nvidia tech support agent. Well my problem still existed and I had major bugs, now with 3D video was haywire.

So I restored an image to get rid of those new drivers that didn't do anything but cause problems. About 2-3 months went by and Toshiba notified me that new video drivers were available, and I installed them and it fixed my issue.

I ran BIT and passed 2D with flying colors.

So I would warn people to be very cautious when updating drivers, you could cause more problems than already have. Make sure your computer maker supports the driver.
