Back before my video card got fried, Nvidia kept pushing a major fix towards their firmware in the card. From what I had heard, the fix rendered the card useless, so I never used it (thankfully).

I've found that many firmware updates aren't properly tested, and can thus ruin hardware. Do you ever trust "important" firmware updates?
