I have a Nvidia 7950GT. I have searched and googled my Brains out. I have tried drivers from Nvidia, Software Packages,EnvyNG, etc. and everytime i reboot i Get a
(EE)NVIDIA(0): Failed to initalize the Nvidia graphics device PCI:2:0:0
(EE)NVIDIA (0) please see the Common Problems section for the README for
(EE)NVIDIA(0): additional information

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to resolve this soon.

Thnak-you
