I was having problems previously so I recently upgraded my Forceware drivers to the new 81.98 ones.
Now whenever I try to amend any of my Nview settings [such as changing the Primary Monitor] my PC reboots with no warning. This is quite regular but not every time I change a setting.
I've tried uninstalling in Safe Mode and also used Driver Cleaner Pro. It doesn't make any difference. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Anyone got any ideas as to how I can troubleshoot this? As nothing is left in the Event Viewer and reinstalling doesn't fix it is reinstalling XP my only option?

Sounds like the Nvidia driver crashes, and the system gets restarted automatically.
You can disable the automatic system restart under Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery. You will then get an error message instead of the automatic restart.

That setting was already configured before I started having the problem. I don't get any errors on-screen, and the Event Viewer seems oblivious to any problems.
For a while I suspected it was UltraMon causing it so I have uninstalled that for now. Alas it definitely is the driver. I just don't know if it's clashing with something else on my system or whether 81.98 just has a fault. Today I will try 81.95 or an older driver.
