Re: While updating Nvidia video drivers Monitor screen goes blank!!!

Some users are experiencing problems with Vista 64 and 4GB of memory. You
might review the following KB article and see if any of it applies to you.
In any case you might try downgrading to 2GB of memory and see if that
works.

Re: While updating Nvidia video drivers Monitor screen goes blank!!!

I suggested that you try 2GB just to find out if it resolves your problem in
order to possibly eliminate a possible source of the problem.
The operating will still use all of its 64bit instructions and will still be
able to move data twice as fast using the 64 bit registers when there is 2GB
of memory just as well as it can when there is 4GB of memory.
