hello guys,

Apprently i have around 20-6 drivers that are out of date.
I have already tried all of the programs that does the hard core scans but it turns out that when ever i hit the fix button it says put in your registry key.
Which really pisses me off it says free download and it comes up with that Crap, when all i want to do is fix my computer up.
sorry for the bluntness i did a 12 hour render last night and when i heard the fans go down i though @$!# it shut down, 12 hours of that rendering gone never to come back agian.

So is there anyway to update my drivers with either a program or by on the desktop i have already tried to do it manually but for some reaon my computer says they are all up to date.
Which is not the case since my computer crashes every hour or so.

Thanks,
radiant

You probably dont need to use those scanners.
Its a new pc right ? so the drivers should be reasonably up to date.
I am not sure how trustworthy those things are anyway. spyware dropper?? dunno...
My guess is your 580 are overheating or perhaps the power supply....
Whats the summer temp there in Australia? 35deg C?
You might be better to use a utility like MSI Afterburner to monitor the GPU temps, perhaps underclock them slightly and raise the fan speed.

if you say so :) good luck :P

edit: I see someone has reported an issue with Octane crashing after a while - might be that.
