Odd 7MC Flickering Issue - NVIDIA Driver Related
May 28, 2009
I'm getting some occasional flickering in Windows 7 Media Center 64-bit. The flickering only occurs when the NVIDIA control panel is set to control video color settings and Dynamic Range is set to Full (0-255). This setting can be found as such:
NVIDIA Control Panel->Video & Television->Adjust video color settings->With the NVIDIA settings->Advanced->Dynamic Range->Full (0-255).
Without this setting, the drivers apparently default to the limited (16-235) color range, which results in noticeably washed out video with poor contrast and incorrect black/white levels. The flickering appears to be between the full and limited ranges, as if the drivers are doing one thing and the player doing another. Or something.
Also what is strange is that it doesn't happen all the time. Most often it occurs during commercials, whereas the main broadcast might be unaffected -- but that's not always the case. Haven't figured out what triggers it yet.
Anyone else run into this or have any ideas?

I recently build a new Sandy Bridge computer to replace an older Conroe system. The new build retained the SSD (OS and programs) drive and the SATA data drives along with the existing Windows 7/64HP installation.I built an Asus P8Z68V Pro with an Intel i5-2500k and DDR3-1333 ram (12GB). I did not reinstall Windows 7/64HP. I had to tweak a few programs that had an issue with my substitute hardware, but otherwise it seems to run fine.However, I've had some crazy BSODs that seem to tie into grmnusb.sys. Yesterday I had 3 BSODs in a row that would happen as soon as I plugged in my Garmin Edge 305. The first happened while I was OCed. I rebooted and changed to default BIOS settings. Another BSOD when I reconnected the 305. So I uninstalled the Garmin USB driver and rebooted. Another BSOD when I connected the 305.I finally just left the Edge 305 connected and rebooted the computer and it came up ok and let me access the data on the device in a normal manner. And yet on the same system, I've had a number of times I've plugged the Garmin device in with no issues at all.When I first built the box (a couple of weeks ago) I had a BSOD from the Edge 305 connection, again with the gmnusb.sys tie-in. I rebooted, uninstalled the affected usb driver and all was ok for a time. And then the Garmin didn't want to connect so I re-installed the Garmin usb driver and all was well for a time.. and then, here we go again.Before I go though the routine of uploading the BSOD jcgriff zip files, I want to see if this is a known issue related to Z68 boards, or perhaps because I didn't re-install Windows 7 for the new hardware or if it's because computers just don't like me for some reason.

quite recently, i noticed that there were little black box flickering in my games. gpu is an ati 4870 hd 512 mb. i did not overclock this gpu. first, it came when i got myself shogun 2 total war, and then in all my other games that i played after that. it flickers on for a split second and off and keeps coming back. i did notice though that when i alt-tabbed for a few seconds, and then came back, it took a little while before they came back.also, this has nothing to do with heating because the max temp that my gpu will ever hit is 50c and on idle it's 38c with a accelero heatsink.i thought this had something to do with the latest 11.6 update i installed, so i uninstalled and driver-sweeped my ati driver and installed 11.5, but no luck!
along with that, i noticed that on Internet, when i went into full screen mode, the screen would be black but playing but then flash on and continue the video from where it flashed on. also, when i got out of the Internet full screen, the video would be playing but the image on the video would be what i saw before i went into full screen for a few seconds.i tried reinstalling flash in chrome, but to no avail.

I've got some minor problems but still I find them quite annoying.
First: When I'm running Win 7 my display is flickering. It just looks like bad reception on a TV station. When it gets too bad the display turns blak and after a second everything is fine and it starts all over again.
Second: After a while Windows states that there is a problem with the Nvidia windows kernel mode driver, version 186.81 and that it has been restored. (This info is given after the screen turns black).
I think that there is a connection between those two problems but I don't know how to solve it.
I've got a nVidia Geforce 9650m GT grafics card and after I installed win 7 downloaded and installed the driver.
It is even worse when aero is running.
In Vista everything was fine.

I just downloaded the Vista driver for my Nvidia 8500GT , and during install, Nvidia shows it as a "Windows 7 32-bit Driver"...
Did this happen now or was I sleeping all this time?

When I first installed the OS I used windows update in order to install a driver for my vid card. I am now trying to use a driver from nvidia. I go through the entire process of installation smoothly, restart, but when I go back into the device manager the same microsoft driver is there.

I did quite a bit of looking around and there seem to be lots of people with Nvidia problems in Win 7, however not exactly what I'm seeing.
First off when I ran the "Windows Experience Index" I get a 5.7 rating for "gaming graphics" but only a 1.0 for graphics (Areo performance)
Along with that I am noticing "slowness" with desktop and IE rendering performance. For example it takes a long time to browse to a new page (much longer than it did under vista) or to even open a new blank tab. I have also noticed slow performance with the built in games. When dealing cards for solitare, the dealing animation "stutters" and when starting mine sweeper, the animation of the board being drawn "stutters" too.
I had this behavior with the Nvidia 191.07 drivers so I decided to give the Nvidia beta 195.39 drivers a try. They too show the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions what I can do to get things working better? Is anyone else seeing this with a similar (or different) configuration?

I've had it! 3rd time I install Windows 7, 3rd time I'm having ****ty problems because of the Graph Cards driver!
Is there any SIMPLE way to make it work? I have of course already tried to install the driver, but all I got was **** like "This program did not install. Try again later.."

I've been having this issue with NVIDIA drivers for my GeForce GTX 460; the driver seems to be doing fine (screen turns black at one point for a few seconds then goes back to normal, not sure if that's intended) but then after a while, it simply stops. It doesn't freeze or give me an error message, it just stops working for several hours.

I have an nVidia Quadro in my desktop here at work, just installed Windows 7 Pro 32Bit (trying all the flavors before rolling out to prospective clients).
I can get multiple displays running but I've encountered a problem that has driven me to the breaking point.
From my onboard VGA, I can get full resolution and a great picture. From my Quadro all I get in dual dispaly (not the full 3 or 4 I want) and when it does display on two screens together, it's mirrored.
The display options are only seeing the monitors and Generic PnP and it detects the two both as monitor "1". Their resolution is stuck to 1024x768.
Here's the stranger part: In my Hardware Profiles, it has 2 Standard VGAs listed in Device Manager and 2 "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family". One of the "Intel" chip and one of the "Standard VGA" each are showing that the devices could not start.
I've uninstalled the drivers for all 4, rebooted, removed them from device manager and even switched my BIOS to boot from the onboard instead of Auto (Dell BIOS).
To finally confound things more, when I do reboot, guess what displays on the BIOS? QUADRO!
My BIOS obviously recognizes and identifies the card, but 7 is just throwing it down. I've tried the new Forceware drivers as well as every driver nVidia had listed for Windows 7 32bit for every model of NVS Quadro with no avail, it just says that no matching hardware is found.
Can this be addressed and fixed or should I just start getting rid to roll over clients video cards like crazy?

I bought a new desktop with vista in it. After upgrading to windows 7, i installed my nvidia driver for GT230. However, after restarting windows 7 goes to the desktop but nothing loads. No taskbar, no explorer, just a movable mouse.
I switched into safe mode and rollback the drivers and used the standard VGA driver, however whenever i try to install nvidia drivers, the same thing happens.

I was playing a game while my pc froze. So i restart my computer directly and while my pc boots i see messed up graphics for my hardware logos. This confirmed me, even before my pc started, that something had gone wrong with my 3d card.
As windows booted up i log into 800x600 resolution (not what i use). Then i find out from Device Manager that windows is stopping my XFX 9800GT display adapter. Exact error was "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
This is what i have tried so far:
1. Removing display drivers from Add and Remove Software and reinstalling them manually. Did not work. Driver installs ok but it still says that "stopped" message in device manager.
2. Letting windows update download the driver. Which it did, but after it was not installed. Got an error message "code 80070002".
3. Tried Driver Sweeper in safemode and installed drivers. After restarting getting same error in device manager.
Problem im getting is that now most of my other pc software is not working, like firefox, windows messenger etc. It just says ABC.exe has stopped working. Plus any kind of text is now slightly hazy. Like water dropped on ink writing. But i guess that is to be expected when there is no video driver installed.
By the way im using Windows 7 Home premium 32 bit.
What do?

Every time I shut down my computer, not restart, when I turn it back on my Nvidia drivers don't load and I have to reinstall them. Restarting the computer works fine, it's only after a full shutdown. I tried reformatting just to see if that would solve the problem, it didn't.
System:
Intel i7-920 @ 3.8 GHz
MSI Big Bang XPower
Elpida 6GB (6x1) DDR3 573 MHZ
MSI GTX 560 Ti (x2)
Samsung 1TB, WD 1TB
MSI Quantum Wave soundcard, Asus wireless card
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I have upgraded to Windows 7 and my old NVIDIA driver (GeForce4 MX 440) doesn't work that well. I am trying to install a newer driver and have read that installing one of the newer NVIDIA ones for WinXP/2000 will be OK. However, it tells me that it cannot recognise the operating system as being Windows.

in a bit of a pickle here, having installed my GPU drivers (8600GTS) about 2 months ago onto 7057, i used i believe 1.81 drivers (Cant remember exact number) for vista 64.
that lasted fine up untill about 2 weeks ago where my PC would randomly freeze and my screen would become filled with what appears to be text randomly mashed together vertically down the screen, requiring a manual reboot.
I then installed Nvidias latest drivers designed for Windows 7, and now the problem happens a lot more frequently than it did!

I don't know if it's already been reported but Nvidia have released new drivers for Windows 7.
GeForce/ION Driver Release 190 (x64)
GeForce/ION Driver Release 190 (x86)
Thought you might be interested. Hopefully it will resolve some freezing in certain games.

Has anyone seen or read anything about the Win 7/Vista drivers for Nvidia 7 series not working properly?
I have a thread over in General where we were trying to determine the cause of a graphics glitch where once Win 7 x32 was booted the screen would glitch out to where it looked like multi-colored ladders with jumbled colors all across the screen.
After running several tests and trying different things, I'm fairly certain its a problem with the nvidia 7 series drivers themselves and win 7 x32.
Trying a clean install to x64 and the drivers for the 7 series for it to see if that changes anything.
Any confirmations or disaffirmations regarding these drivers would be appreciated.
