Immediately following restart, the new display driver will be loaded for the first time. It will automatically run a series of tests to ensure maximum stability on this system. These tests normally take under one minute to complete.
The test may cause your computer to stop responding. If this happens simply restart the computer at which point the tests will continue normally.
