Anybody have problems with Windows x64

[re:FORM]

What Nforce drivers is everyone using with winx64 and Tyan S2895 (K8WE)?
The different options have always confused me.

i am using the x64 driver package directly from the tyan website: ftp://ftp.tyan.com/drivers/nvidia2/v669_WinXP_64bit.zip
there are some newer drivers at the nvidia homepage but since everything is running fine right now i'll stick with this release.

Yea, thats what I'm using aswell. I noticed that there's a seperate download for the 8131 PCI-X Bus filter controller. I'm going to try installing this and see if that fixes my problems (And hopefully doesnt create any new ones)

Im stuck in the same boat. After 2 days of use, my new x64 based pc crashed running dual monitors...

The problem: Booting to windows I get a blue screen of death and the system reboots.

I'm at a point where what works is completely uninstalling my nvidia display drivers and running standard VGA. If I try to reinstall nvidia I crash again on boot up.

Im such at a loss at this point Im thinking of just scrapping XP PRO 64 and putting in standard XP until vista 64 comes out. Lameness, I got 4gb too...

does this happen as well in safe mode?

i had some problems with the latest nvidia display driver, not a crash but unexpected lines on my monitor and sometimes the screen just freezed...after installing the previous version of the driver everything was fine...

Safe mode works perfectly. That is how I am able to uninstall the drivers once i cannot boot up in windows.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. I first thought after reading a forum post that my 2070sb monitor did not have 64bit support, so I hacked the INF driver file with a tag to make the system believe that it was compatible http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver...4INF_reqs.mspx
That didnt seem to work. I have also tried 4 different CRTs and all crash on bootup to windows.

Also tried a system restore. Also tried the new Beta nvidia drivers.

Thats a good idea. Nvidia website only displays the latest official driver for x64. Where can I have a look at the previous versions? Using a Quadro fx 1500 as well.

older geforce drivers can be found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-6...d_archive.html
older quadro drivers here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win64_quadro_archive.html

Previous drivers do not work. I talked to nvidia and they claim under my conditions that the graphics card is faulty. PNY is sending me a new one under warranty. I just hope its the video card and not anything driver related.

Thanks for the tips. I know what they mean when they say power has its price. Well, maybe they dont say that but it seems to fit.

peace

i have a dual core / win 64 setup and had lots of crashes with after effects but not in max.

i installed the newest cpu driver and a new dual core utility from the amd website. the drivers have been updated about a week ago.

the crashes in after effects are gone now.

Wowser! I didn't expect so many responses - I'll try all these things!

What cpu driver was that?

I just installed the 8131 PCI-X Bus filter controller and things seem to be running ok now.... no system freezes.... but its early days yet!

It looks like the dual core utility doesnt work with opterons.
