Windows 10: GT 420M driver problem

Hello, I recently upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit (from Windows 8.1). Everything is fine, but I can't watch movies. When is played the movie freezes randomly for second, but audio is not affected. I tried many players - my default PotPlayer, Windows Media Player, MPC-HC, VLC, etc...Every one of them had same symptoms, even if I turned off or on DXVA. Then went to the next level, although I thought that there can't be а problem - drivers of video card. It is GeForce GT 420M. When I checked in Device Manager - GT 420M Properties - Events - Information, there was this message "Device PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF1&SUBSYS_04871025&REV_A1\4&6fab1f9&0&0008 requires further installation." Many times I installed and uninstalled drivers, include 353.62, 353.30 and olders 345.20 and 344.75 - always the playback is the same, and message is "Device PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF1&SUBSYS_04871025&REV_A1\4&6fab1f9&0&0008 requires further installation."I don't know what to do. I think to recover with my Acronis Windows 8.1 image, in which movies playback is perfect.

WIndow 10 black screen

Hi, I am facing the same problem. In my case, the screen goes black but everything is visible if you use a flash light.

What I am trying to say is only the display backlight turns off, the laptop doesnt freeze or hang

After restarting it works well, but it left idle the screen goes black again.

Is it because of the display driver problem?

I have searched everywhere for this but didnt find any solutions. So out of curiosity I downgraded back to Windows 7 and everything works perfect.

Running:

-Windows 10 Home

-Intel(R) Core (TM) i5 M480 CPU @2.67Ghz

-(RAM) 4.00 GB

-64-bit Operating System, x64 based processor

-Display card: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVidia Geforce GT 420M

Please help

Have you tried manually downloading and installing the nVidia Windows 10 drivers?
64 bit
Drivers | GeForce

 

Yes.

 

UP! STILL NO SOLUTION TO THIS?!? Installing older drivers wont fix this for me, whate fk?

 

How did you update? Manually by device manager or running the setup program?
Have you considered a clean installation of the driver?

Cheers
Tom

 

Hey!

Downloaded from nvidia homepage and then launched setup.
What you mean by clean installation?

Thanks!

 

By uninstalling the old driver first.

Cheers
Tom

 

Oh yes, ofcourse i uninstalled it first, i did properties and the driver version was new....
