You need to go to Nvidia website for the drivers
Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers
yours is a 7 series card -
get the new driver - uninstall the OLD one and reboot then install the one you just downloaded

As a side note - you are always better off going the manufacturer of the components to download the drivers -

MOBO's eg ABIT,ASUS and GIGABYTE etc

GPU- these may be made by ASUS or GIGABYTE etc but they are still reference designs made by NVIDIA and ATI/AMD and you are better off with the NVIDIA and AMD/ATI drivers.

Yes, I usually do go to NVidia, but will check out Gigabyte as well.
Have installed the new drivers and will delete all the errors, see what happens from now on.
Cheers

No problem - I will leave the thread open until you install the new drivers and see if the errors in the log goes away.

UPDATE
Went to play a video tonight and no player (and I have quite a few) would play anything other than sound, so ended up doing a System Restore, LOL.
I dunno!! The new NVidia drivers appeared to have installed OK, but....
