Why does my video driver revert to the previous version after computer restart?

When I install an updated driver for my video card on my Windows 7 machine, it works great. I can use the full capabilities of the GPU no problem. The thing is though, when I restart my computer, it reverts back to the old version! How do I make the new driver to stick, even after a restart? I've tried looking this up on tons of forums and google, but can find nothing.|||If your computer always restart, There are some reason:

I. It's Hot in There

Sometimes this can be caused by an overheating situation. Itunes, RealPlayer, Windows Media player,etc. require a lot of processing power to decompress and decode music files, which can cause the processor or hard drive to get hot.

Memory Fails Me...

If you determine that overheating is not the problem, the most likely suspect is bad memory.

II. Don't Do Me Any Favors

There's a setting buried in Windows XP that tells your computer to restart when a system error occurs. you turn off that option, you may solve your automatic reboot problem.

1) Click Start, then open Control Panel

2) Click Performance and Maintenance

3) Click System

4) Click on the Advanced Tab

5) Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section

6) Uncheck Automatically Restart in the System failure section

Note that this may prevent the system from restarting, but it can also mask the true problem.

The most common cause of computer restarting is a corrupt registry.

Most likely your registry is bloated and overstuffed with an assortment of useless pieces of data. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There will be bits of programs which were not completely uninstalled, parts of programs which were never completely installed, fragments of miscellaneous data, useless drivers, and a multitude of other bits and pieces.

The answer is to clean your registry and remove all the material which is not needed.
