Installed Nvidia Driver Problems?

I recently installed Nvidia Ge-Force 5200FX Driver onto my computer and it changes my video bit from 16-Bit to 4-Bit and i cant change back anyone know how i can change it back without uninstalling the driver.

There is one thing you do not seem to have understood so far: This forum is not a general hardware forum but offers help and advice for MSI Retail products only. You were using an MSI MS-6590 KT6 Delta mainboard in your other thread. That is the only reason why we replied to your questions about an unknown video card model in the first place (even though the lack of a video driver for an unknow card has not much to do with your mainboard.
Now you are asking us about some NVIDIA driver issue regarding the "same type of [non-MSI] graphics card" but in a "different computer". You provided no useful information about your system configuration whatsoever (no information about your operating system, no information about the exact driver version, no information about why you installed an NVIDIA driver even though the unknow video card seems to be an old ATI model, etc.) I see nothing that relates to any MSI Retail product in the context of your driver question. I am locking this topic.
If you find one reason why I should re-open your topic and not advise you to look for help in a general hardware forum (there are tons of those out there on the net) write me a PM and tell me what this has to do with MSI Retail products. I will than gladly unlock this thread. Until then:

Can't install nvidia driver on V580

Hello!
I try install nvidia driver on my V580a (Intel driver is already installed and all work fine) but after I install optimus drivers in device manager (win 7 x64) i see that (standard vga device). Then I try install nvidia drivers for my gt 645 but from nvidia site but he fails.
So how can I installl right driver so my discrete video card woud be recognized in device manager?
And must I install driver for GT 645M or I must install only optimus driver?
Thanks

"dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver

I'm getting two "dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver on a fresh arch system:
xorg-server will be installed before its nvidia-libgl dependency
harfbuzz will be installed before its freetype2 dependency
Is that normal?

It's not 'normal' but if everything is working fine, no need to worry. They're just warnings, not errors.

[solved]display problems after installing nvidia driver

hi
i have nvidia geforce 8400 gs card, after i uninstalled all other drivers, installed nvidia,nvidia-utils, then nvidia-config,then installed vpdau-video,then restart
i noticed that hardware and deamon checks screen after boot became huge letters as if no driver installed yet, and when i run lxterminal i noticed black window on the top left of the screen exactly the same size as the terminal window, and when i browse using chromium and the page contains flash video, the video window image stays on the screen.

I think current nvidia driver is broken - I have these black windows at some rare situations also (under KDE without effects; no under OpenBox). IIRC, nvidia developers mentioned somewhere in Arch bugs system they are aware of the problem.

Satellite A660/07U - Problem installing nVidia driver for Win 7 64bit

A660/07U Windows 7 64bit
To begin with, I need to install this driver as apparently it will solve an issue with the current driver that causes the computer to freeze when booting with an external monitor as the primary display.
I have downloaded the driver install file from the Toshiba web site and it is extracting ok but then when I run the program it just exits immediately without actually installing the drivers.
Device manager in windows doesn't seem to help either, because when I point it to the extracted folders it tells me I already have up-to-date drivers, even though my current driver version is a lower number than the downloaded one.
Rebooting has made no difference.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Yes, that is exactly where I got it from and I have tried re-downloading the file but still have had no luck.
I was, however, able to get the driver directly from NVIDIA and it worked fine and has also resolved the issue with the external monitor bootup.
It is still strange that the file provided by Toshiba did not work.

Both nouveau and nVidia driver problems with Stellarium

Stellarium v0.12.4 with either xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 or nvidia (latest driver) and an nVidia MCP78S (GeForce 8200) chip usually results in either distorted graphics and sometimes complete system lock-up.
The nVidia driver is worse, nouveau sometimes works but its a crap shoot. This has been going on for about 2 months now, and I have tested both drivers.
With nouveau it dumps these boot errors, but works on other software just fine:
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x10022c
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x100230
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x1002e4
I cannot use the nvidia driver in general because it sometimes causes graphics faults when using Chromium.
I don't get any other graphics issues other than with Stellarium (and obviously I cannot run google-earth with nouveau either).
Any ideas on where to start with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks for answering!
Following your advice, I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Nvidia (http://www.nvidia.fr/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver-fr.html). I'm not sure this is the one I updated on the first place since I don't remember when I did it (it was a few months ago, and as I had internet without using wi-fi, I didn't see that much the BSOD, but now that I'm back to wi-fi, the problem occurs often). Until now, no BSOD, but the first problem "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered" is still here, and a little bit more annoying since it can occurs while watching some video files (it didn't happen before).
For the BIOS problem, it was the one described on the link you gave, but no the problem is over. I was just thinking it could be relevant to understand the others problems.
I'll let you know if the BSOD is (or seems) definitively gone. In the meantime, if someone knows how to fix the problem of the display driver that stopped responding and was recovered, it would be greatly appreciated!

[Solved] Can't install Nvidia driver: Mesa-libgl conflict

I just finished installing my first GUI, KDE to be exact, on Arch Linux. Right now, I'm using the nouveau driver but I want to unlock the full power of my GTX 780 with proprietary nvidia drivers. On my last attempt at installing KDE, I went directly to installing the nvidia driver 304.24. After rebooting and seeing some text flash on screen, however, I was meant with only a black screen. I could still type, login and reboot but not much more since I couldn't see. I tried booting into the Arch Linux fallback GRUB provided for me with no prevail so I decided to just reinstall the OS. For that reason, I want to install this nvidia driver in hopes of being able to avoid another blank screen. So far, I have this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -S nvidia
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove mesa-libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
I've tried looking across the forums for similar problems and even tried to uninstall mesa-libgl and all its dependencies but it just yields this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -Rns mesa-libgl
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo: requires libgl
:: glu: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
:: qt4: requires libgl
:: qt5-base: requires libgl
I feel like I might need to uninstall the nouveau driver so as to be able to uninstall mesa-libgl. If I installed the nvidia driver at that point, I fear I might see the blank screen again. Thanks for your help in advance.

You do it wrong.
sudo pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl && sudo pacman -S nvidia
After it, you can decide if you want to reinstall mesa-libgl and remove nvidia-libgl or leave nvidia-libgl and do not install mesa-libgl. I do it all the time during update.

Nvidia Driver Problem

I am unable to unintall the old nvidia drivers, I uninstalled them from the add/remove programs window but the old nvidia is still there even after trying to update it with the latest driver. I deleted the nvidia folder and when i restarted windows every thing seemed fine, but when i tried instaling the new driver (66.93) windows did not recodnise my card. whats going on?

robert.tyrrell,
You could manually pick the hardware when installing the Driver. The other solution would be to download Driver Cleaner to get every bit of the old Drivers out before installing the New Drivers.
Then the final solution is to do a fresh install of your OS, which is a sure fire way of solving the problem.
Take Care,
Richard

Ultra 40 fx3500 nvidia driver problem with XP

Hello,
I have a Sun Ultra 40 Workstation with an fx3500 graphic-card. With Solaris, Mandriva and 64Bit-Windows
the card works without problems. But with XP 32-Bit only the old 9x drivers from Nvidia work. If I try to
install a driver-release above 100 (today I tried 191.00, but I also have tried many other releases) the driver
installs fine. But after rebooting the workstation powercycles short before the Windows-Login-Screen
appears and Windows boots in "Safe-Mode". Then I can install the old 9x drivers and XP works again.
I tried a tool which wipes out the old Nvidia-driver first, bevor installing the new one, but no success.
Why is it not possible to install new Nvidia-drivers?
After the second boot when the driver has failed to load, the following messages appears on the screen
after the Bios has finished:
"Nvidia Rom Bios" "Detecting Arrays"
I could not read the whole text, because the message appears only a very short time, so I could not
read the message exactly. But the message only appears after the problem with the graphics card driver.
I have not configured disk-arrays. I'm not shure, but is it possible that there is something wrong with
the Nvidia-fx3500, the Nvidia-mainboard-Chipset and the Nvidia-graphics-driver above the 100. release.
Can you please help me?
Best Regards
Ralf

First of all, thank you guys for your replies, and sorry if I answer you late; but I was tring to apply some of your suggestions.
pharao:
My old card was "the stupid" (Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT with Kyro 4000XT chipset)
Hotoro:
What do you mean by reload Windows XP? Un/Re-Install it?! It is not a good solution for me, at least, right now. I have huge data, my settings and a lot of application installed that needs days to restore or reconfigure, and I do not think that I have that much time.
daveg4otu (Dave):
Thank you for your help. I already removed old card drivers and registry entries, and now I also removed the new ones using "Driver Cleaner" as you suggest, but the same was the result
Raven236:
No, my old card was not ATI. OK, I will try this new driver (56.72), but I can not keep downloading all drivers without result, can I?
coollg:
I do not think so, because the card is working fine on the same PC on Windows 98SE. So, it is not Mainboard, AGP or compatibility problem, as I think. In other hand, you are right, I am not expecting to get the maximum performance from that card, I am, now, looking for the minimum.
Did I have to do someting else?!!!
Thanks again.

Installing a driver problem

I'm trying to install the driver for my Zoom r-24 (recording software). I click the driver and the installer opens up, I select the Mac HD as the disk and it goes to instalation type window where it says 'Click install to install a standard installation of this software on the disk' but the install button is faded and it won't let me click it, only go back. What's wrong? Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please also check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
In addition, also check Device Manager, if similar driver already installed, try to uninstall them and reinstall new driver again for test.

BSOD after installing NVIDIA driver (nvlddmkm.sys error)

Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
A few days ago I purchased an MSI GS60 044 (970m) laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled on it. I have an intense hatred for Windows 8 so I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 using a disk I own. Everything was going well until I installed the NVIDIA graphics driver. The computer would run sluggishly and then Blue Screen with an error regarding "nvlddmkm.sys."
I got the drivers from MSI's website and followed the installation order on that page. I even tried downloading the latest driver from NVIDIA's website, but I got the same results.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!
- Daniel

I really appreciate the help! I ended up reinstalling windows again and this time before installing the NVIDIA driver I installed the BIOS update that's provided under the "BIOS" tab on the GS60's support page. It's been installed for about 2 hours now with no crashes, so I hope that means it's fixed. I could just be getting lucky though, I'll post again tomorrow with results.
Unfortunately, now my LAN and WLAN drivers have stopped working. When I troubleshoot, windows says that there aren't any drivers detected. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the bigfoot and intel drivers but neither are working. I just can't catch a break with this thing. >_<
In the event that I do have to send it to MSI, wouldn't the computer not be covered in their service anymore since I installed a different OS/formatted the original drives? I'm really hoping there isn't a hardware issue since I ordered the laptop brand new off of ebay.
Thanks again for all of the help!

Nvidia driver problems

I am a newbie to Arch Linux migrating from Ubuntu. Arch Linux seemed like the perfect operating system and sounded like it would be 'fun' to try and get it working. Unfortunetly I'm used to things working mostly out of the box (ie Ubuntu). I have gotten most things to work fairly well, except for two things: fonts and nvidia drivers. When I finally got xorg/enlightenment to just work, I remembered I would have to get nvidia drivers to get my full resolution (1680x1050) and to play some games. I went to the wiki, and followed the instructions exactly. No luck. I then tried just using 'nvidia-xconfig' to make my xorg configuration. No dice. I also have no idea how to get fonts to work, xorg reports lots of missing files and I have no clue what to do. I would like the default ubuntu fonts to work in firefox . My video card is a GeForce 7950GT. Here is my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.ca/raw/635972 (this is the one that is produced when I use the 'nvidia-xconfig' configuration) and here is my lspci: http://pastebin.ca/raw/635979 here is the xorg.conf made with 'hwd -xa': http://pastebin.ca/raw/635981 (which works) and heres the xorg.conf make with 'nvidia-xconfig': http://pastebin.ca/raw/635982 (which produces the errors in the log I listed)
Thanks,
DJ

Hm, according to your xorg log, your nvidia kernel module isn't being loaded. What happens when you try to issue
sudo modprobe nvidia
? What's the error message? More detail can be garnered by running
dmesg | tail
immediately after the modprobe.
Also, since I'm not too hip on nvidia lore, and I'm not too sure how new or old a 7950GT is, it's worth mentioning: we have three nvidia packages in our repos: nvidia (newer cards), nvidia-96xx (not-too-new cards), nvidia-71xx (older cards) - you might want to make sure you've installed the correct one.
-edit- Ack, you edited your post on me. Your hwd -xa config file works because it's using the 'vesa' driver, which is basically the one-size-fits-all driver that works for everything. The other one isn't working because it's trying to use the proprietary nvidia driver, but as I mentioned above, the kernel module isn't loading properly. -/edit-

Has anyone got the B500 to work with Ubuntu? (nvidia driver problems)

In two weeks, I have been completely unable to get the nvidia driver working with the B500 on Linux. No matter what I try to do, the X server doesn't start, and my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file ends with "fatal server error: no screens found." I have tried feeding a custom modeline to xorg.conf, explicitly calling an EDID file which I extracted from the Windows installation, using the upstream nvidia driver installer, using the official repository driver, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I'm not recalling right now.
Versions I've tried this on:
Kubuntu 10.04, 32- and 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04, 32-bit
Kubuntu 9.10, 32-and 64-bit
I am stumped. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?
best,
-p.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved with the kind assistance of paulricardomc on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477507
Short version of the fix:
1. Extract the edid from the Windows partition using softMCCS, saving as edid.bin
2. Save the edid.bin file in /etc/X11 (or wherever you like)
3. Include the following in the device section of your xorg.conf:
"Option" "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
"Option" "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
Fire up X and you're good to go.
