Driver install with strange message

[nahid08]

I have just added new Nvidia Geforce 9800 in my system. When installing driver a message appeared which is something like, "Driver has not passed with windows logo testing". I pressed "continue anyhow" button to install it. After installing screen went black and then everything became normal.

What was windows logo testing? Is it normal or will it make any trouble in future?

The screen going black during a graphics driver installation is nothing out of the ordinary.
Windows logo testing usually doesn't say much about the real validity of the installer, just make sure you get the drivers from here and here alone: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Whilst the nubian nut has a valid point, I have never had a dodgy driver from here.

I forgot to mention that I am not using pure Nvidia Geforce Card. It is XFX Nvidia Geforce card.

Will that Nvidia Geforce card driver work in XFX Nvidia Geforce card?

True, Guru3D can be trusted, but I was thinking more along the line that the OP did a google search for "drivers" or something like that and clicked on a malware site.
Try it yourself: type in "ATI drivers" and you get a "sponsored link" on top of the page that tries to get you to download adware, then you get the real AMD site and then some more shady looking sites offering drivers along with adware.

Yes, it will, there are no "pure" nvidia cards, nvidia outsources actual production to manufacturers such as XFX, but nvidia designs the chips and makes the drivers.
