NVidia video card- Lightroom freezes at startup, stalls, crashes when switching modules [Windows]

Issue: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom freezes when you start, crashes when you switch between modules, displays blank screens in Slideshows, stalls frequently or runs extremely slowly. 
Solution: The nVIDIA nView Multi-Display Technology software (also known as nView Desktop Manager) is known to cause these symptoms. If you have this software installed, please see following  Technote for resolution of problem.

Okay, I ended up replacing nouveau with the nvidia proprietary drivers.  I did a full update of my system, which I hadn't been able to do in over a month because of catalyst's conflict with xorg, and managed to get X working (sort of).  The only issue is that once X starts, and brings me to slim, the keyboard ceases to respond.  If I turn the numlock on before X starts, it turns off as soon as X starts.  Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't do anything either.  Not really sure where to go from here other than to switch to vesa or something
EDIT: I tried installing the beta driver as well, but nothing changed.

  • Lightroom 5.4 64-bit crashes when switching to develop module (and during random other functions)

    This seems to be a new issue that has developed over the past few days. I have been using Lightroom for multiple years without too many issues. Within the last 90 days I have upgraded to Lightroom 5. Today, upon loading up Lightroom (either 3.6 or 5.2) they both crash upon switching over to the develop module. I have upgraded 5.2 to 5.4, uninstalled 3.6, restarted my computer; still crashes with error message: "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Which upon clicking "Close Program" it simply closes the program. Any ideas as to why this is happening and a possible fix? This is greatly impacting workflow. Following is a copy of my System info from Lightroom.

    Seeming this seems to have stopped around the 21st of May and its now the 9th of June, does this mean we just do nothing about it and hope and pray that one day Adobe, who are very quick to take our money every month, can resolve this ? Has there been a fix noted for this yet ?

  • MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Nvidia Video card crash

    So I've updated my Nvidia driver to the latest version, but whenever I open a game the graphic starts to lag and then freeze... I also hear weird motor sounds in my headphones while this lags.... I tried to downgrade the Nvidia driver to the one which my model of MSI recommends: I tried both Beta and WHQL Nvidia drivers my model of MSI recommends but that didn't help either. I also witnessed the crash of the Nvidia driver ( a notification appeared that Nvidia driver has stopped working ) which made me totally be sure that this lag and freeze problems aren't the problems of the game nor the the switching of Intel and Nvidia video cards, they switch good. This is the problem of Nvidia video driver, all the versions I tried kept crashing due to the same lags and freezes in any game I try, can anyone help me !?

    Check the temps of your gpu with Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<). Try with and without Cooler Boost.

  • Nvidia video card update

    recently my pc crashed lost everything and started over. everything has updated but the Nvidia video card. when it is up dated system says a updated has caused an issue and has to go back to the last restore point. i have never had this problem before. if there is anyone that knows what is going on with this update please help me out. Thank you

    Please explain what the actual steps included in "started over" and "everything has updated".  Was the Recovery DVD set or the Recovery partition used?  Doing "starting over" in that manner should get you up and running again.  Be cautious with updating from sites other than HP.
    There seems to be a precious balance with the I3, i5, and i7 processors and the software/hardware that is easily pushed out of balance by introducing outsiders, such as hardware changes or non-approved software updates.

  • CUDA NVIDIA video card to Mac Pro 2013

    Is there any way to get the Mac Pro 2013 to run a CUDA enabled NVIDIA video card?

    This graphic from ifixit.com shows the two special cards, still with heatsink paste in place, just after removal. The silver diamond surrounds the big graphics chip, just inside the RAMs on the card. Those RAMs contact heatsink pads on the central cooler. The whole business is secured with four screws beyond the RAMs, roughly centered on the sides of the diamond. So the Big GPU chip and the RAMs are pressed with heatsink paste and heatsink pads, respectively, against the central cooler. This is in lieu of allowance for a separate fan (which in many "standard" cards is what takes up the space of the second slot.
    Power appears to be supplied by lugs in the outer corners of each card, so the cards are deliberately not interchangeable. One has connections that feed to the graphics outputs, the other has connections for the PCIe SSD socket.
    The text says those connectors resemble the CPU daughter card connectors used in the late G4 and G5s.

  • [SOLVED] Help diagnosing nVidia video card

    I've got a nVidia GT 240 that is producing some glitches on video playback.
    Frames that become stuck and have to wait until a full refresh and sometimes, complete freezes.
    Also, this happened yesterday:
    http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9318/d3zs.jpg
    I use it only for video playback over HDMI to a 47" TV via XBMC.
    I would need help troubleshooting it... I tested my ram with memtest86+ and it's fine, so there's nothing else that comes to mind that could be the problem. I don't know how to test a video card, though.
    What would you suggest me to do?

    OK: I meant, the problem is not related to the video card, it has nothing to do with the video card, th video card is fine,... if you want to know about what I have been through, you can see it in this thread:

  • Problem with nvidia video card GTX670 in PS CC

    I have been using PE10, but have just installed Photoshop CC v. 13.1.2 x64.  Although my video card (nvidia GTX 670, 2 gb RAM) is recognized by Photoshop, when I check "use graphics processor" under "preferences/performance" the converted RAW image is somewhat blurred at all zoom levels (except 100%) compared to when it is unchecked and sharp (for both Canon 1100D and 6D). The problem may possibly reside in the RAW conversion, because if I convert the file with "use graphics processor" unchecked, and then subsequently check it after it has been opened, the image is not blurry and I have access to all of the video card supported functions. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and found a solution?  Thanks, artmar4 (intel i5-3670, 24 gb RAM, Windows 7, 64 bit).

    I must admit it's not intuitve to me that the image would be somewhat blurred when clicking on "fit screen" and "fill screen" (but then what do I know.)
    The GPU image-interpolation for display is more sophisticated than that of the CPU, but both methods cannot avoid compromising the image quality in some way in order to reduce the scale of an image. The GPU method can produce blurry results whereas the CPU method can produce ragged results.
    Both methods produce very good results when the zoom is 100% divided by a power of two. However, "Fit Screen" and "Fill Screen" won't give a nice neat zoom level like that, except on very rare occasions when an image has a particular size relative to the screen.
    Here's a (hideous) contrived example of the blurriness of GPU versus the raggedness of CPU. First is the image at 100% zoom. Then the doc on the left of each screenshot is being scaled by the GPU, the doc on the right by the CPU. Click the images to view without forum resampling!

  • Strange problems with nvidia video card

    Hi, I don't know if it's really a problem, but I suppose...
    I had in the last days serious problems with the nvidia card and ubuntu (see ubuntuforums or askubuntu).
    Resuming I couldn't boot ubuntu if the nvidia card was enabled...
    Now I only use windows because of this problem but I have another doubt: why the power manager sometimes don't show me the GPU usage (see image)?
    In any case the nvidia (I think) is always working (the external monitor plugged in  the DisplayPort works... I think that's a confirmation)
    Another question: at times when I watch video on youtube the nvidia is enabled at others not... is this a problem of optimus or not?
    For me it's important that windows works (no problem if ubuntu doesn't works.. I posted the links of the problems with ubuntu just  for information on what's happened before this problem with windows..

    I'm using Firefox with html 5...
    But I also tried also with chrome, in which the html 5 mode in youtube is not activate, and I have the same problem...
    I find it strange because if i have the monitor plugged in the nvidia GPU is activated (of course) and if i'm whatching a video on youtube when i disconnect the monitor the GPU won't switch to the intel but it still remains the nvidia activated until i close this video..

  • ***FIX***VIDEO CARD LOCKUPS/FrEEZES

    in the bios under ADVANCED, i disabled "C000,32k SHADOW" in the bios. MY VIDEO CARD ISNT CRASHING or locking up ANYMORE!!!! i can even run my FSB HIGHER!!!! 215FSB was the max(after a month of experimenting), after disabling that bios setting i could go to 222FSB @1:1 !!!!!!
    i can duplicate the crash/lockup freeze when it is "C000,32k SHADOW" is enabled/cached. be when i disable it...sure enough it works. before if i would run at 215/216 i would freeze/lockup/crash. now i run 222 SOLID. 3dmark 2001-2003 complete, sandra benches work, maya, games all solid. i believe the "C000,32k SHADOW" setting in the bios has been the cause of my problems.

    Thanks for the reply NovJoe. I put the stable settings in my signature. I have run 3Dmark2001SE five times in a row without any problem at 224 FSB. When I work  up to 229 FSB 3DMark2001 will run once or twice and then kick out to the desktop. 3DMark03 will run even at 334 FSB. I am just trying to figure out if it is a setting somewhere I have wrong or if that is the max for that program. On the bright side it gives me somthing to do, adjust, benchmark, stress test with a couple hours of a good game.  

  • A video card issue isn't going to crash 32 bit bridge - is it??!!

    So I'm having the same occasional 32 bit bridge crashes as everyone else, then I simply replace an intermittently malfunctioning fan on my Nvidia GT120 video card, and immediately I have 32 bit bridge crashes gone wild! As in a few seconds after start up of any Logic project that used 32 bit plugs. Entirely crippling.
    Just a coincidence regarding the video card / fan ya think?
    Everything else seems to be functioning fine on the system.

    Ahem. SORRY for the false alarm blabbering.... this episode turns out to be just another of my usual dufus-ish stunts.
    When reconnecting stuff after installing that fan, a USB cable to a Line 6 Gear Box interface that serves as a dongle was left unpulgged. THAT was my problem.
    NEVERMIND.

  • Nvidia Video cards

    My Pavillion m8530f came installed with an nVidia 9300 GS graphics card and integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce

  • Random Shutoff after nvidia video card replacement

    This is pertaining to my Macbook Pro 15.4 inch from 2007 running Lion.
    A few years ago this MBP completely crapped out. About a year later I received a notification in the mail about this big nvidia lawsuit that would allow me to have my computer fixed if the lawsuit went through. It did eventually and I got my computer fixed. However since installing Lion I've been having trouble with it randomly shutting off, making that high pitch unwinding sound, the sound it makes when you hold the power button for it to hard shut down. I checked into overheating as that seems to be an issue with Lion and MBP's and I run SMC Fan Control to the max and it still shuts off, even at low (relative) temperatures around 140 F.
    The weird thing is, without SMC Fan Control the fans won't ever get cranked up, at all. They stay at 2000 rpm. I figured at this point I could rule out overheating, but that's not possible because when I put my computer on ice packs and keep the internals around 80 degrees it runs like a champ. (I'm sure that will work out great in the long run what with the condensation and all). Anyone have any thoughts? I thought about reapplying thermal paste but the temperatures rarely get above 170 when it shuts off.
    Thanks

  • Video freezes when switching from window mode to full screen mode

    I have seen repeatedly that when I play a video (downloaded via iTunesU) and try to switch to the fullscreen view, the video freezes at the frame I hit "fullscreen" on. The audio, and the file, however, continue to play but the video is frozen. To fix this, I have to keep hitting Pause/Play for the video to resume. It also happens when I go back to windowed mode.
    Any solutions?

    Same problem, as soon as I 'upgraded' to 9.03.15. At first I thought it was only a problem with older videos, but as I checked out videos, even a recently downloaded TV show exhibits the problem. Some videos, however, work fine? If I play around with a problem video until I get a green screen I can get it to work.

  • Freezing at startup - weird message when starting up in verbose mode

    My macbook pro, only about 2 months old, freezes a lot while its starting up. i have to keep turning it off and on for it to work. It gets stuck at the grey screen with the apple and the loading icon.
    I decided to start up in verbose mode and maybe i can see what the problem is. So i did just that and i got this error message:
    SATA WARNING: completing a zero block transfer.
    it keeps repeating that message and scrolling down the screen forever.
    I have no idea what that could be.

    Most likely a problem with the disk and/or some corruption of the directory. Be sure to back up your own data if you haven't done so already. Then boot from your install disk and go to the menu bar and select Disk Utility and then Repair Disk. If it reports a problem and fixes it, run it again until everything comes up clean. If it reports a problem it can't fix you could invest in DiskWarrior, or, if you have AppleCare I believe you got a free copy of TechTool, you could try running that.

  • Startup stall's when MyBook External Drive is Connected

    I've had the MyBook external hard drive (500GB; 800 Firewire; Mac Formatted) for about 6 months now. Within the last two weeks, whenever the drive is connected to my MBP it causes start up to stall; the start up just hangs at the gray screen.
    I removed all the data from the drive and formatted it thinking that maybe the drive got corrupted, but even with a fresh drive it still happens. If I start up the MBP without the drive connected it starts up beautifully.
    Anyone dealing with this same problem or have any thoughts on the matter?
    Thanks in advance.

    Mine needed a firmware update... was previously having the same problems.
