My system is locking up whenever I try to apply the restricted drivers (NVIDIA) or when I try to apply the updates from the update manager.

This happens before it can actually set to use the drivers - more like as soon as it is tries to apply the changes.

When trying to do system updates, I click apply and it usually downloads fine then locks up when it starts to install.
I have been able to add different packages otherwise.

I am using a fresh install of 8.10 Intrepid


ASUS P5GD2 Premium
(Using NDISWRAPPER for built in wi-fi)
Intel 3Ghz Prescott
2GB GSKILL DDR2-800 (using at 667)
200 GB SATA HDD
EVGA NVIDIA 8600GT 512MB
