Manually load the driver whenener boot

After boot, the windows ask for the video controller driver. I browse to the
folder and load the driver. The everything OK untill boot and the windows ask
for the driver again.

Get the most recent driver for your hardware (see below for where to get
it). If updating the driver doesn't help, it means your video card is
probably failing and needs to be replaced.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer
(HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.
