I know I might be redundant if this has been posted over and over again...lol

But I am revisiting setting up BOINC to cooperate with my NVidia drivers again.

I googled my problem and they mentioned using Driver cleaner after unistalling my driver in safe mode and then reinstalling; tried that step and it is still not cooperating and crashes and reboots.

I thought a earlier driver version might cooperate with BOINC?

Any help or advice to remedy my problem would be great!

You omit telling us:
1. Windows 7 is completely updated?
2. Which BOINC version are you talking about?
2a. Can you please post the first 20 to 30 lines of the BOINC start up messages? CTRL+SHIFT+E to the Event Log on BOINC 7.0
3. Which drivers are you talking about? Version numbers, please.
4. Are these drivers from Nvidia or Windows or elsewhere?
5. What brand and model videocard do you actually have?
6. What kind of system do you have?
6a. CPU, amount of RAM, motherboard make and model, PSU size and brand, amount of fans, other cooling sorts?
7. What is crashing and rebooting?
7a. Do you have logs of the crash, a dump file, any information from Windows Event Viewer about the crash and possible subsequent reboot?
7b. Any error numbers, or error messages? What's it say in stderrdae.txt in the BOINC data directory?

I could give you 10 more questions, but all this is information that you should've given us to begin with. I shouldn't have to ask you for it.
