Thanks for your input, but I only did have one divice driver under display
adapter drivers. I also went to the EVGA site as suggested by Sugupta
previously, and downloaded version of the display adapter 169.44. It told me
that I had had version 169.25. This happened to me two times as I have
removed and updated the controller and display adapter using the Window's
updates, the NVidia website, and the EVGA sites. At one time, I had removed
the network, bcause it had failed to update on a previous Windows Update, I
thought briefly I might have resolved the problem. It had been a long time
and many tries at Nvidia and EVGA sites, since I was able to use Window's
updates.
All of a sudden, I decided to try windows updates (when I recieved the
usual error link) and discovered that the new software that had failed when I
originally was asked for the updates, came up again. I was able to go
forward with the updates, and when I checked the history list of "updatings",
Nvidia display and the Nvidia NForce Networking controller showed both had
updated successfully. I thought that I was home free, but immeditely, I was
back to the blue screen and the links to Windows Updates and NVidia websites
again.
I do appreciate the quick response you all had sent to me the times had
written last week. I look forward, hopefully, to more advice and suggestions.
