Computer crashing and nvidia control panel missing options

Hey, I bought 2x msi gtx 970 and put them in sli mode. They worked fine for a while but yesterday I started having problems. I was playing shadow of mordor and suddenly my screen went black and my computer restarted. It worked fine afterwards tho. Then today I played some LoL and after playing for like 15 minutes or so it happened again. But now also after the computer restarted my nvidia control panel was missing options. There were only setup g-sync, set up stereostopic 3d and view rating for games. I'm not sure if this happened yesterday too. I tried reinstalling the drivers (tho I'm not 100% sure I did a perfectly clean install) and the options came back but the crash happened again and the options disappeared also again. I have 850w corsair tx850 so I think that should be enough power? My mobo is asus P8Z77V-Deluxe and cpu intel i7 3770k @ 4.3ghz. So what is the problem?
EDIT: after I restarted my computer again the options in the control panel reappeared
EDIT2: I ran furmark with both sli on and sli off for about 50 minutes and oddly enough my computer didn't crash. Everything ran well. Here's some statistics from sli: GPU1: 1316MHz @ 99% load, temp 80 C, voltage 1.193V, GPU2: started at 1303MHz and then dropped to 1277MHz @ 97% load, temp 62 C, voltage 1.206V. Another weird thing is that the crashes in lol kept happening even after this and always around 15-20 mins to the game. I would say it's an issue with lol but it happened once with shadow of mordor too. I haven't played any other games. Also it's weird that this started happening only recently, not from the beginning. I do recall downloading some update to geforce experience recently, don't know if that matters.
Also I'd like to know that are those temperatures normal for air cooling in sli and/or are they too high?
EDIT3: Just noticed that everytime I try to run pci-express render test on gpu-z my computer crashes instantly and apparently trying to run furmark now also crashes the computer

Hello,
Could you please be more accurate on your spec: >>Posting Guide<< RAM, frequencies, timings and so on.
Would be worth trying bit more powerful PSU. Not saying this one is insufficient, but it's always best to rule something out for 100% sure.
Remove OC from the CPU and RAM (RAM to be 1333MHz and CPU to run stock). Or try >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Make sure that you're running latest BIOS for the motherboard <Contact ASUS about it>
Temps are completely fine for SLI on air. Top card always is much hotter than the other. However you could reapply thermal paste on both cards, run single card for 1h and record its temps, then do the same for the 2nd card (in single card mode so the other is out of the PC) and use the cooler one on top.
I feel so dumb right now. Seems like one power cord from the psu to my gpu wasn't properly attached and now that it's completely connected everything seems to work. I'll update this thread if that didn't fix the problem. But anyways thanks for your fast response

Logic Board Replaced -Nvidia Control Panel Missing

Hello kind readers and helpers,
My laptop had to have the logic board replaced (twice) because of a faulty Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card.
Upon its return, the Nvidia Control Panel was missing from the System Preferences and I'm now limited to the
adjustments I can make to the screen. The Nvidia Control Panel used to be there before the board got replaced.
I really need access to more detailed adjustments as I edit photos and video on my laptop and the current
display setting adjustments available in system preferences are just not cutting it... I need my Nvidia Control Panel
back!!
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? I went to the NVidia website to try to download the drivers, but they
have no support for laptops!! Ough, faulty graphics chips and no laptop support!! Really?!
Please help me guys!!!
Thank you so much! =)

Hello guys,
Just FYI, with the Nvidia Control Panel the resolutions available to me were much higher than those available in the display system preferences; 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz (VGA) and 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DVI). Now, the highest resolution available is 1920 x 1200.
Thank you for your time and support! =)
Ahhh, now it's making sense. You have a 17" (I have a 15"). 1920x1200 is the highest resolution possible on the built-in 17" display. Your MBP can output 2560x1600 to an external display, but that's dependent on the external display's capabilities. I wonder if that Sys Pref you're asking about only shows with an external monitor? Would that fit your experience?

Quad SLI option not available in Nvidia Control Panel after complete reformat

I had a SSD failure on this new build in Raid 0. Before I RMA'd the HD I went with one HD and was able to get Quad SLI running. Now after going Raid 0 with the new HD I had to reformat and I reloaded the OS and then updated all the drivers. Now I no longer get the option for Quad SLI even though my cards are seen by the device manager and the NCP. I can only go SLI on one card and can dedicate a GPU on the second card to Physx. I used the uninstall feature for each driver last night and then restarted in Safe Mode and used driver sweeper to clean out any remnants. I then rolled back to an earlier nvidia driver on the 500 series with no luck. I installed Live Update but did not use it except to scan my system. It shows the latest Bios so that has not changed since. I also made sure that I was using the latest Realtek drivers. Any help will be appreciated.
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) latest Bios
Win7 64bit Home Premimum SP1
2 EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds
16g 1600 Corsair Vengence
2 ea SSD 120g Corsair Force GT's Raid 0
Antec 1200W HC gold PS
Coolemaster HAF X Case
Corsair H100 H2O

NO i was not able to get windows to load. I would have an intermittant SSD failure at diferent points during the installation process. I went to a single drive and it installed fine and after completion I downloaded updated drivers and went into the nvidia control panel and activated quad sli. I did have to remove one of the cards during the SSD install in order to facilitate the installation of the Sata cable into the MB. It is possible that the SLI bridge may have gone bad since it was disturbed. I ordered another one to be sure and it will arrive today. While waiting I switched the video cards in their slots to check them and I also verified that the PCI slots are good. Is there some history of a conflict between Raid 0 and 4 way SLI that I should be aware of?

TS3354 iTunes states I need an HDCP compliant monitor to play HD video. My Nvidia control panel states I have a compliant monitor and card.

according to my nvidia control panel my monitor (shimian 27in (apple cinema display) IS HDCP ready, but itunes thinks otherwise. Running a GTX780 in 2560x1440 resolution. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ok so I got it going by turning down my monitor's resolution to 1080p. A bit annoying to flip back and forth but a simple solution.

W520 and hooking to TV - No DisplayPorts show connected in NVidia Control Panel

I had hoped the video would go well, leaving me to just have to worry about the audio issues when trying to drive my TV from the W520. I have the latest BIOS and NVidia Optimus drivers from the Lenovo site.
When connecting the TV to the laptop DisplayPort I tried to bring up the NVidia Control Panel (and also Desktop->Screen Resolution) to see if I could see the second monitor. The 3 DisplayPorts show no connection in the NVidia Control panel. Is this indicative of the cable maybe being bad (Should I at least see one connected even without a cable)?
Other thoughts? Thanks,
Eric

hey ericvn,
have you updated the drivers for your nvidia yet ? The current version right now is 8.17.12.6871 and if yours isn't this version; do update it.
if yours is this version, try uninstalling and reinstalling and at the same time do test the cable on a different unit.

NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL APPLICATION HAS STOPPED WORKING

I have got a big problem here with NVIDIA cards and have not been luck at all. My problem started when I had a clean install of Vista 32 on my HP XW6600 which came with Windows XP installed with an option to upgrade to Vista. When I upgraded I also upgraded my GPU from GT 9500 to Quadro FX1700. When I tried to open the control panel all I got was an error message saying it has stopped working. I never had this problem in XP with the 9500GT.
I later sold the quadro and purchased the Geforce GTX260 and had a clean install of Vista 64 on my system. But still this nvidia control panel cannot be opened. I am a professional video editor and needs the advantage of two monitors when running Adobe Premiere PRO CS4. I have seen some forums which says uninstall all nvidia drivers, use CC cleaner or Drivesweeper, in safe mode and reload the Nvidia drivers once again. but all this have failed.
My patience is running out now and I am now considering switching to ATI cards. I wanted to take full advantage of cuda with nvidia and was looking foward to purchase a quadro 5600 for maximum added perfomance. I have just ordered a second monitor from DABS.COM which I intend to hook up with my system and without accessing the Nvidia control Panel I will be in trouble.
Am I missing something here. PLEASE tell me know if you have got an idea on how to resolve this. I have attached a screenshot of the error message I get.
System
HP XW6600 Vista 64
Quad Xeon 5420 2.5ghz

"It has to be that HP thing"
Bill what is this HP thing. Could you expand on that please because I have just completed a clean install using HP RESTORE plus disc and my drive was completely wiped out. Not even Windows OLD files were left.
I then installed the drivers using the Original CD that came with the GPU, still the problem remains. I updated the driver using the internet and it didn't help neither. I have also purchased an Intensity PRO editing card and expecting a 22" HD monitor thhis morning for HD editing.
I think ATI is the way forwad. Which is the best ATI card for HD editing. Budget maximum GBP£150.
YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

My computer crashed and I saved my files onto my flashdrive. I can't open SWM files.

HP Mini 110-3700ca PC
So my computer crashed and I saved my files onto my flashdrive. The back up files are compressed into SWM files and I can't open them. I tried dowloading p7zip and extracting the files and the files remained the same. Maybe I didn't do it correctly. I'm running out of ideas. I'm trying to recover a few DOC and RTF files that was saved in the hard drive before the crash.
Thanks

Inside the folder of files you should see a file with .exe extension, either Recovery.exe or Backup.exe.Double click it to extract the files to a folder on your laptop.
You will have to enable the option to see file extensions for known file types.Do that in Control Panel,Folder Options.

Control Panel Missing in Illustrator CS6

so this is something ive never really encountered before. im starting up illustrator, and the control panel (at the top) is missing. I tried restoring the essentials layout, restarting the program, and restarting the computer to no avail. the screen resolution is at the highest setting, and the control window is checked, so i have no idea what it is. any help is much appreciated.

and now, i restarted in like a 5th time and its back. has anyone else encountered this bug before?

GTX590 Cant access NVIDIA control panel Black screen after 10 mins

Hi,
I recently purchased an MSI GTX590 and encountered this problem " Cant access NVIDIA control panel Black screen after 10 mins". I am running Windows7 Ultimate SP1.
I did have an xfire setup of 2xHD6970's, I uninstalled all the old drivers then used driver sweeper to clean out any remaining folders, also uninstalling them from device manager.
Next I installed the latest version of drivers from the NVIDIA site only to find that I am stuck in safe mode resolutions for my screen I cant access the NVIDIA control panel as it is saying " You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU ". In device manager it states that
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) ".
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled about 6 different versions of drivers from NVIDIA including the latest BETA drivers which all have the same issue??????
I have also gone to the MSI site and downloaded their latest recommended drivers for the GTX590 NVIDIA Graphics Drivers Version 267.91 which are the only ones that seem to work as in it fixes the screen to the proper resolution and lets me into the NVIDIA control panel yet after about 10-15 mins the screen will go black or the computer will just freeze. Rebooting causes the same issue after 10-15mins
I have noticed a few others out there experiencing the same problem but no fixes as of yet any ideas??

Thankyou for the reply,
Tested the card in another working machine capable of running and its fine I am sure the PSU I have is more than capable of running this card I ran 2 6970's in xfire on the same PSU and motherboard with no problems.
I am running it on an 40"BRAVIA LCD and am using the DVI to HDMI converter that came with the GTX590 and I have also tried it with an DVI to HDMI cable also.
The system is stable under the latest NVIDIA drivers but the display drivers aren't recognized under device manager and the screen resolution is still stuck in the safe mode size, they are shown up as having the same "error 43" and I still can't get access to the NVIDIA control panel.
I strongly believe this is a driver issue or an issue relating to software within windows. To give you a rundown on several things that I have tried to isolate or fix the issue with is in a list here:
1. Installed every different version of drivers on an fresh install of windows7 including the latest Beta drivers
2. Tried to run the GTX590 on another machine and it runs using windows7
3. Run different graphics card setup using the same PSU RAM and mb on windows7 no problems.
4. Run the gfx card on only 1 gpu no change.
5. Last step I will take is to install Windows7 without the SP1 as I have read elsewhere that similar problems have been fixed by doing this if that don't work might just sell my soul to the devil n see if he can fix it lol.

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc. How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer. I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ???? Can someone advise?

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone. This will transfer your purchased items.
For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility. Find discussion of them here
Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My old computer crashed and i just purchased a new laptop. How do i get my library on my new computer without erasing all the songs on my ipod?

If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
(Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

HT1329 My old computer crashed, and I have most of my music on my ipod, how do i move it to my new computer.

My old computer crashed, and I have most of my music on my ipod, that has been purchased, and downloaded music from my CD's. I also have music in my old Library on ITunes. How do I recover all of them, and transfer my music on my IPod, to my new Library.

Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
If you didn't,.... it should've worked..
