    Unable to update Alienware M17x R3 Graphics Driver

    Hey guys, please help me getting out of my problem. I am very new to the forum and am facing this very weird problem in my Alienware M17x R3 gaming laptop. I have got the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M Graphics card installed in my system. I recently tried updating my Graphics Card driver but did not find myself successful in doing so. Please can someone help me in solving the problem? What might be causing this issue? How can I solve the problem?

    hey guys i was having the same problem!
    i installed the 275.33 inf file onto my system, followed the instructions it gave, installed the new NVIDIA driver and everything and then asked me for a restart of my laptop.
    when you did it did you tick the box that said clean install or something? in the NVIDIA setup?
    when i restarted my m17x r3 gave the the blue screen of death... and went to a repair wizard due to windows not being able to start properly..
    any suggestions on what went wrong?
    and did you delete the old driver before hand or what?
    thanks

    Hi marey,

    Can you tell us what kind of blue screen error message you were getting? At the time of installing any new drivers, you first need to uninstall or clean install the previous drivers, so that there wouldnt be any conflicts as such, that you might be facing. Can you log into safe mode and try to completely remove the nvidia drivers, and after that reboot the pc? If so, then only after completely removing the drivers, try to install the new versions of the graphics driver.
