Since the release of Retribution, I've been having problems getting EVE to run more than a few minutes at a time.

I can usually get into the actual game in a station, but within a few moments I'll either lock up or flat out blue screen from the graphics driver crashing.

I've had this issue with a previous driver that I foolishly didn't bother to remember and the most recent non-beta drivers (306.97).

Also, after clean installing the most recent drivers EVE is no longer detecting the 540M, just the integrated Intel HD , though I've read that it's just a display issue and I've forced the EVE to be run on the 540M.

Just wondering if anyone else has found a solution before I start installing random drivers.

OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
CPU: i5-2410M - 2.3GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GT 540M

EVE works perfectly fine when no NVIDIA drivers are installed.

Seems to be a huge issue with nvidia drivers all over
Had the same problem on 2 of my machines and seems to be a case of rolling back drivers until you find one that works.
