    Good day,

    recently i have replaced motherboard on DELL M6600 (gtx 680m installed) and cant install drivers anymore. Before Motherboard failure everything was OK, except there was a real hassle finding proper modded driver for my "custom" laptop, but i have found several revisions on LV2GO and installation was successfull.

    But now, when i'm trying to install them - i get black empty screen after restarting the system (but all indicators and keyboard lights are on, so the system is running) or, on some of 30x.xx drivers i get 640x480 resolution without any chance of changin it and the color theme is 8 bit.

    When i boot in safe mode, i can see NVIDIA GTX 680M on my device manager and when i'm trying to automatically update it, the device changes to "standard VGA adapter" and system begin to work after restart. Nevertheless, in "dxdiag" command i can see that the chipset name is GTX 680M with 4GB of VRAM, but the name of device is still Standard VGA adapter and my WEI is 1.0. Please help me

    I was unable to get a 680m stable in M6600. It was the first weapon of choice but after several tried, i gave up. It wasn't stable no matter what I tried.

    What happens if you don't install any Nvidia drivers? Does it work OK?
