Thanks for the alert! I've been ignoring the update notification for a few days. From past experience with nvidia drivers, never pays to update early, lol. Heng

LOL now hardware killer drivers are on the trend is it? Last time AMD, now Nvidia, next Intel?

just reverted back to 362...
caused me to sit out yesterday's launch of the division....
was getting blank screen on all of my games, enabling sli profile would cause the system to BSOD...
reinstalling/installing 364 drivers would result in BSOD...

Doesn't affect me at all, If the system running without problem, I don't bother to update as I'm not a gamer, none of the software I'm using currently required a new driver to work.
