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.
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/install/64INF\_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-64bit\_extended\_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! :shock: 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.
