I did some fiddling around with the NVIDIA control panel options. Just out of curiosity, I set Microsoft Edge to run with my GT 420M to see if that would crash too. It didn't crash, but the backlight on my screen went off. I could just barely see that Edge was open on my laptop. I shutdown manually because I couldn't see anything, then restarted and the resolution was noticeably different. I checked the device manager and both my Intel HD Graphics, and my GT 420M had exclamation points next to them. I clicked into the properties of them and it said "Windows has stopped this device (code 43)". I reinstalled the drivers, restarted the computer and the resolution and everything was back to normal...except everything that runs on my video card still crashes. Darse nizami
