Fade

Well, not exactly the same. You just lose FPS. I get a total black screen at boot and can't even use the sytem other than in safe mode or with a default standard VGA driver. I'd settle for low frame rates if I could just use the card. I'm thinking it's got to be some strange driver issue.... but nobody seems to be able to help with this.

Put the GTX680M into my Alienware after the original card burned out. Worked fine for a while, with the help from a modded driver from another site. But for almost a year now I can't use it other than as a standard vga card. Someone at Notebookreview directed me to a post where someone got it working with a driver from this site, but the link is now dead. When I try to boot in normal mode, with the modded driver from the other site (which worked for months), after the splash screen, the screen goes black and the system appears to lock up. I've reinstalled many times with the modded driver from the other site, and uninstalled Experience, and same problem. Nobody seems able to help on the 2 other forums I was using. So, is there perhaps a better modded driver from here that might work? Would someone be so kind as to point me to its general location? Alienware MX17R3 with GTX680M - CPU: I7, OS: Win7, User: bummed out. Thanks for any help.
