    NVIDIA's latest drivers are possibly damaging your PC

    If you have installed Nvidia's latest graphics card drivers 364.47 and 364.51, they might possibly be damaging your PC.

    That information is actually false:

    Update: NVIDIA tells us that it hasn't seen reports of damaged video cards, and that the most grievous issues are blacked out or corrupted screens. There isn't anything that could fry your card in the driver, the company says. That's something of a relief, although it won't be much consolation if you can't use your system.

    What version of Windows are you running? It seems mostly people using Win10 are affected.
