Need a quick bit of help downloading a driver.

Nvidia doesn't seem to want to be working for me (sitewise)

I need to download the 195.62 driver for Win7 64bit for GTX295.

If someone can snag this for me from the site and PM me a place to download it from that'd be fantastic. Thanks.

Btw, I'm still having issues with my computer.

I've established that it's the video card as I tried every stick of RAM seperately and removing the sound card and it all still crashed. Trying a new video card worked fine. *sigh*

So I'm trying to re-update my GTX295 with the latest drivers, and if it's still crashing I'm sending the card back.

Here's a direct link to the file, which you may be able to download.

Also, a link to an independent driver site

Got it, the Nvidia site is back up it seems.

I don't know why manufacturer websites always seem to go down at the exact moment you personally need a driver.

I was working on Callistarya's computer yesterday, and the driver disk they sent with the motherboard wouldn't read in my dvd rom. So I tried to go to usa.asus.com. No dice, dead site. Still dead as of this morning.

So I go to the global site, and begin downloading drivers. First one i try to download (the chipset drivers) wasn't that large, but firefox tells me it'll take 3 days to download at 1.9K/second. arrgh!

Eventually the global site cleared up enough for me to get her lan, video and audio drivers. Even so, it took longer for me to download the 11 megs of audio drivers than it took for me to download the 2.8 gigs of DDO. I'll shoot for installing the chipset drivers today. Heh.

Just a heads up, I've said "fuck this" and am mailing the entire fucking thing to IBUYPOWER. Thankfully with my warranty it's all free, replacements and all.

FYI, Asus' website is notorious for their glacial downloads. Doesn't matter what time of day or what you want to download or which country's site you get. It's always slow. You can sometimes speed it up by prodding it (pause download/resume download/pause/resume/pause/resume). It means sitting there and poking it every few minutes, but the time saved may be worth it (especially if you're going to be sitting online anyway).
