Hey guys
Encountered something quite weird just now.
I was playing Skyrim, when it minimized to desktop, and I saw Steam was doing some kind of update. I just carried on playing till the game went very laggy.
I quit, restarted the pc, steam finished doing something (I didn't pay much attention to the update this time). Basically, every couple of mins the screen would go black, refresh, and come up with in a little bubble 'The display driver has stopped responding and recovered...)
I checked and updated graphics drivers, restarted again, same problems... So I uninstalled Steam.. Which has seemingly completely fixed the problem. :s
I was worried my graphics card was on its way out(over 2 years old now), but it was just the display driver crashing message and black screen I was getting, no funky colours or lines and the like.
Anyone ever heard of a Steam update causing something like this before? I have quite a few games on Steam, so ideally, I'd like to reinstall it, but if it just breaks things again, then its not worth it.
