Ok I uninstalled the ASUS drivers and put in the NVIDIA. And the same phenomenom as last time happened:


1) Last time I uninstalled the NVIDIA and put on the ASUS, the result was directly after the prompt restart I could play super, and the games always started perfectly. I tested it by starting and exiting the games a good half dozen times.

2) Then I go to sleep. Next day when I turn the PC on again, the games no longer launch.

3) Today as you said I uninstalled the ASUS drivers and installed the NVIDIA drivers. Directly after the prompt reboot, I could also launch all the games again.

However then for test I shut the PC off. Turned it back on. Attempted to launch a game and got BSOD'd again the second the game tried to go fullscreen.

I also put system restore points at both times the games launched fine. As a test I decided to system restore to the first time it worked. When I do the system restore.........it also works fine again. At least until I reboot, then again I return to the won't launch to fullscreen issue.


Also I tried to manually change the IRQ slot of the Video Card, but apparently it's grayed out under the device manager options. I assume the issue is the onboard sound card and the video card going at eachother since they share a port whenever a game tries to start?

Also I downloaded that driver cleaner. I'll uninstall the new NVIDIA drivers yet again, run that program and then I suppose slap the NVIDIA drivers back on?
