Major NVIDIA GeForce: Graphics Become Distorted

Aug 17, 2008

I just now decided to join but I've been looking around the forums for a while now as a guest. Recently I was referred to the website laptopvideo2go.com by these forums. I went there and because I had the old factory installed version 98.15 driver for my NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, I decided to download one of the newer ones. By the way, I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop. The driver that I chose was 7.15.0011.7770. It installed correctly and everything worked fine except for the fact that whenever I logged on, the screen would flash black and the graphics would become distorted and blurry and my desktop icons would look really magnified. But then, a few seconds later, the black screen would flash again and the graphics would go back to normal and everything would Today, however, the graphics did not revert back to normal. Everything stayed really big and fuzzy. I thought that since the driver that I downloaded from laptopvideo2go.com was not digitally signed, or whatever, that it was the problem. So, I went to the HP website and proceeded to download the original NVIDA update (98.15), that I had previously, for my driver.

It installed like normal until it got halfway in the installation loading bar. Then, my computer suddenly restarted itself and said that Windows did not start correctly and gave me the option to run some repair thing. I did, and it couldn't fix anything. So, I restarted again and got the same thing and went into safe mode and uninstalled my driver. Then, I updated the driver with the same 98.15 update and it worked and told me that I needed to restart. So I did and I got the "Windows did not start correctly" message again and I went into safe mode. The driver had not installed and everything was still big and fuzzy. However, the driver was still deleted. So, I restarted again, got the same message, and went into "Last known good configuration" mode, which I am in now. And, of course, the display is still really big and fuzzy. if you select the start normally option instead of the repair option, it will proceed to load with the Windows loading bar but will do that automatic restart thing before it gets to the Windows Vista logo every time. So, it's like a never-ending loop of restarts. I did some research online and I found out nothing, so I guess that my problem is unique. I'd really like to have my computer's original crystal-clear graphics back, but right now the priority is actually getting it to log on.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver As Welcome Center In My Control Panel States, Or Don't I

Mar 23, 2008

My system is "Windows Vist Home Premium AMD turion 64 X2, 960 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150"... My computer health check always says I need to download the current thing of NVIDIA, which it gives me the link for and says it is an essential download, but then it will not download it, and it will not go away and remains a "critical" pc update needed... which drives me crazy.

My HP Update also scans my computer and recognizes that I need NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Grapics Driver, but then it will go through downloading the installation package, and then when the setup initiates it says that I do not have the operating system windows vista.

1 Do i have this NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver as my welcome center in my control panel states, or don't I?

2 if I don't have it, how do I get it

3 if I do have it, how do I make it stop coming up in my PC Health Check as a critical thing, and stop coming up on my HP Update???

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 Can't Installed

Oct 30, 2009

Because I understand very little of the nuances of Graphic Cards, I can't for the life of me figure out which type [SE/LE/GS/GT] of the GeForce Go 7300 Series, I actually have installed in my system. I'm thinking that because the card was installed OEM, the individual identification types, do not actually apply to my system setup. The information tags that I have on the Laptop give the following details;.....

NVidia GeForce 8400 Gs - No More PDF File Crash

Dec 30, 2008

Vista 64 ultimate with dual NVidia 8400 GS, on 4 monitors, running non-SLI mode crashed when ever opening a PDF file.

Although the check from newer drivers indicated that the system already had the latest, I installed the latest drivers from NVidia website anyway. The driver installation package ran through without error, and requested a reboot. Curiously, Vista complained that the installation may not have been completed correctly. Ignoring the Vista warning message (what was I to do anyway?), I rebooted. After reboot I was able to open PDF file.

When I originally configured the system, I had attempted to operate my video in SLI mode. I could not get SLI to work with two cards/4 monitors. Ultimately, I configured in non-SLI mode. I now wonder, if trying out different configurations placed the video cards in an unstable configuration - which was cleared up when I reinstalled the drivers.

NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS How Can Fast Loading

Nov 30, 2007

I am going to get a new PC and I'm undecided whether to be be happy with the 8400 that comes with or pay an extra £100 (£200) for 2 x 8500 ones. Obviously, the graphics would look nicer but would anything else be affected like how fast the loading time of the games are and do you get more frames per second?

NVidia GeForce Go 7300; Runaround, Device Manager Washes

Oct 11, 2008

I am experiencing a Catch 22 problem with the NVidia GeForce Go 7300 Drive that was pre-installed as part of my system. I have experienced a number of problems with this unit, all reported to Microsoft Windows for solution. Their response; Attachment 7159

I have been through all the recommended troubleshooting steps, without success. NVidia don't want to know because Acer installed it, Acer just don't want to know, and Windows just keep passing the buck. The Device Manager washes its hands on the issue with; Attachment 7160

So on one hand I'm being advised that I have a problem, and that it has been reported [MS Windows], then the answer is given that there is no solution [MS Windows] but if you'd like to check it out, here are four options [each in turn involving NVidia, Acer and MS Windows]..And oh! By the way, you won't find your solution here, either....because nobody in the list will accept any responsibility to help in any way to resolve the problem......Ya!Ya!Ya!....."Catch 22". I think that this Version is Force Ware Vista 97.55, as it shows up in my System Information as 'system32drivers vlddmkm.sys(7.15.10.9755, 4.24MB - 18/01/07.

Nvidia Graphics Drivers Can't Work

Nov 9, 2009

Seen in the capture below, the video card is showing as a 1.0, while I expected at least 5.0...the only place this shows to be a problem is while playing halo 2, the game plays choppy to the point where it is almost unplayable. This is odd however, because it seems to do fine in Dawn of war, DDO, and tribes vengeance. I ran a benching program and the card did fine, fps of 280 something, but vista can't seem to sort itself. We are about to get borderlands for this pc, so we wanted to get this problem fixed first. So far I have installed and reinstalled the newest nvidia graphics drivers, mobo bios, and chipset drivers, and this has me just about stumped. the computer to recognize and use the graphics card? Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 43.

NVIDIA 6200 Geforce "Display Driver Has Stopped Responding And Has Recovered"

Feb 12, 2010

i just joined this forum in hopes of finding an answer to my problem, i have also searched the posts relating to my problem. A few days ago my pc was dropped of a stand with the monitor and everything connected. The onboard gfx does not work anymore (nVIDIA 6100 Geforce 405) and the plug is loose so i installed a nVIDIA 6200 Geforce PCI card, everything is fine till i go to run a high graphics game like WoW or SecondLife.

They work for a few seconds then the screen gets all messed up then goes off and back on, then a Hazard Sign in the System Tray pops up that says "Display Driver has stopped responding and has Recovered". Now i know enough to solve certain issues but this has me stumped, i've updated my drivers, even lowered the resolution to try to get the game to work but it does the same thing, now ive had this card in before a few months back, worked fine, then i took it out and went back to the onboard gfx. now the PCI card is giving me issues.

NVidia 8600GT Graphics Card Not Work

May 1, 2008

I have just finished a new build on a GAX48DQ6 mainboard, Q8450 (quad core) 8GB RAM and an Asus version of the 9600GT. Having installed the board drivers and latest NVidia graphics drivers my performance index is 1 - based on the graphics card (everything else is 5.9 except the boot drive which is 5.5). I have re-calculated it about 6 times because I couldn't believe it. Does the performance index not work in Vista 64, this card (with the same version drivers) scores 5.9 in Vista 32. I don't particularly care about the performance index, unless it is indicating a problem.

System Freezing Problem AMD Chipset / Nvidia Graphics

Jan 1, 2009

when I installed an 8500GT Nvidia graphics card. The system would run for a little then completly lock up. All I would be left with was an EventID: 6008 in the Event Viewer once I reset. Once I remove the 8500GT and run on the onboard 3200HD drivers all is well. Nothing locks up the system responds fine. I dont think the system is infected with anything as this is a fresh install on a fresh hard drive. Previously the system ran with XP on a different hard drive (120gb, the 320 was storage) and had no trouble with lockups. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Originally, I thought it might be power supply--but after trying a 430watt nothign changed.

Graphics Card Nvidia Can Not Working Play Games

Oct 17, 2009

I have encountered a new problem. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 1792 MB. I keep getting a problem with the screen when I play "trackmania" it's like some of the text and texture is blurry. Weird thing is I don't have any problems with other games like Fallout 3 or Call of duty 4-5 and so on. Those games I play with highest settings and no fuzz with the texture there. Here is a screen from trackmania, look at the blurry text and so on: ScreenShot92.jpg

I have been mixing around with the nvidia control panelt lately and tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. My current setting is "let the program decide 3D settings"I run vista 64 bit and intel i7 950 with 6GB ram.

Nvidia 6100 Graphics And Zuma Deluxe Is Enabled

Feb 6, 2009

Setting up a new PC here (eMachines H5270) and installed Zuma Deluxe. The game is playable but the motion becomes quite jerky whenever the on screen action becomes more intense. Also the mouse leaves droppings when Zuma's custom cursors option is enabled. The processor is a 2700Mhz Athlon and the graphics chipset is years newer than the ATI card in the PC this one replaces. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms with Zuma? Is there a way to fix this or am I seeing an incompatibility problem between this game and something in hardware?

NVidia GTX280 Or GTX285: Next Gen Graphics Cards From ATI Hooked Up In Xfire

Aug 20, 2009

It started out small, the one graphics card, PSU, Plenty of slots to upgrade the motherboard, a decent sound card, an O.Clockable CPU, decent DDR3 Ram, and plenty of space to upgrade. See System Specs. So my Dilemma is this.... I have a Single GTX 280 (cost me $860 AUD {Australian Dollar} when this first came out [btw our exchange rate was pretty close to the US one at the time -right before wall street crashed, so equivalent of $750 US roughly - I know a wrought, aye, and the HD4870X2 comes out a week later, I was furious])

Anyway I have a 790i Ultra SLI motherboard (as we all know can house 3 Nvidia VGA's)
I was tempted to get 2 GTX280's and then a GTX275(to do physx calculations - if you know anything about Tri-SLI this actually is FASTER than 3 GTX280's in a TRI-SLI configuration), GTX 280's arent sold in Australia anymore and GTX 285's are... so do you guys reckon I should upgrade? or wait for DX11 cards to come out, build another system and let my girlfriend use this one (she loves gaming too, arent I a lucky *******)

Im looking into the future..., wait!... I see something... its a... a core i7 975 overclocked to 5.5Ghz stable... the next Gen graphics cards from ATI hooked up in Xfire (which WILL kill Nvidia this round -GPU die shrink, Nvidia are focussing their technology on copying Intel's Larrabee, which doesnt seem to be going too well for them, because its all about chips and Nvidia cant Die-shrink even if we gave them millions to do so)..... Im seeing a 1200 Watt PSU, 2x (2560x1200) monitors, a monitor on the Case, Liquid cooling, 24GB DDR3 2000Mhz, and 2 SSD's in Raid, with others complimenting it... Lastly no Price Tag....

Major Startup Issue

Jan 22, 2010

I have had my vista home premium system for a little over a year with no real issues. The other day I did a system restart . The manufactures logo which normally comes up for about 20 seconds before moving on to the microsoft welcome screen stayed on for at least 5 minutes and then the screen went black for a couple of minutes. Then a short blinking cursor with a message that "Bios not installed!", then black for several minutes and then a message that the pc could not start and I was prompted to select an option for automatic repair. I did so and after about 10 minutes and an automated system restore , my system booted up and everything seemed to run ok. This morning I decided to try a restart again. While I did not get any messages to run any repairs, the system did stay at the manufactures logo for several minutes, then a black screen for several more minutes before finally getting to the microsoft welcome screen. Does anyione have any insight as to what might be happening and how to fix this?

I have windows vista home premium, service pack 2. Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600. 4GB Ram, 32 bit operating system.
