from august I got my pc frozen like 8 times while using unity or any other program using the gpu. The last time I got a freeze and than blue screen, the system log says that the problem was the graphics driver. It crashed with the driver 30.0.13044.0 Rev.A from the hp website.
I tried to install the newer one (31.0.12002.6001 Rev.A) but it doesn't install, The program HP Support Assistant gives no new update.
what can I do?
