WARNING regarding latest nVidia drivers (353.62) on W10

[ajkula66]

If you have a system of *any* kind that utilizes a nVidia GPU and are intent on - or already are - running W10 you may want to look at these threads and proceed accordingly:

The problem seems to be very real and manifests itself in a variety of ways...

Good luck.

This morning, on my HP 8300 Elite minitower running Windows 10 64-bit, the Nvidia driver crashed three times. Windows was able to recover from the first two crashes but not the third one, causing the machine to freeze. I had two Nvidia cards (8400GS PCI, and 8600GT PCI-e) and don't know which one was causing this problem. I just swapped out the 8600GT for an ATI HD4600, which hopefully will circumvent this problem.

All these are pretty old cards. Driver compatibility is always the biggest issue when upgrading Windows.
