Grpahics card issue (laptop)

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I recently installed this driver:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-295.73-whql-driver.html

And now whenever I "un-hibernate" my laptop, the screen doesn't turn on, and I'm forced to turn off the computer entirely. The screen then turns on normally when I do a full boot.

How do I fix this?

EDIT: I have a toshiba "quosmio" laptop, running windows 7 - 64 bit, and I have an Nvidia Geforce video card.

what the...why is this not showing up in the forum?

EDIT: Oh there we go. Finally showed up.

Roll back to a older driver?

Also, did you check if your video card is in the Supported Products (just click the tab that is slightly below the green Download button)?

I'm assuming it worked fine beforehand and you haven't messed with anything else - installing/uninstalling/changing configurations, right? I'm asking just to be sure it's a driver issue.

No I didn't change anything else.

And I punched in my driver information on that site already, and it recommended that particular driver.

I AM thinking of rolling back to an earlier driver.

It may not be the graphics card at all. This is a very common problem heres a link that may help.

I personally never used stand by or hibernation mode. But then again my notebook would suck up battery power so fast (within 30-40 minutes) I always needed to be by an outlet.

Rolling back one driver version worked. Issue is gone now.

Hopefully this driver is also advanced enough to prevent metro 2033 from complaining too.
