NVIDIA Video drivers issue

Hi!
I have HP TouchSmart Envy 23-d104er with GeForce GT 630M.
Current video driver version on my computer is 9.18.13.2702 - it is the latest available version on your web site and it is equals with 327.2 driver for NVIDIA video card on nvidia.com
Any over versions (331,332,334) downloaded from nvidia.com cannot be installed on my computer : system gives me an error, something like - there is no compatible devices for this driver.
So that should I do if I need driver 331 or higher ?
How soon there will be an update from HP ?

Hi AlexandrRF,
I suspect your GT 630m device ID in Device Manager has been modified by HP. Driver support is provided by HP and not Nvidia.
Personal experience with OEM graphics card driver updates reflects a poor track record.
HP may not provide any more updates for your graphics card and operating system.

Video drivers issue (dual DVI monitors off bay :: one black and white and one color)

Hello,
I have tried everything to try to make these two monitors color. They are both relatively new Dell monitors. Both are DVI, both are connected to the latest Lenovo bay for my T430 laptop. Both worked fine after I initially installed both video drivers (Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows 7 [64-bit]) and NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 [64-bit]). Then out of nowhere one of them (Dell 1) decides it wants to be seen in black and white! I initially thought it was the monitor itself, but when swapping monitors (Dell 1, Dell 2) the other monitor (Dell 2) went black and white when plugged into the DVI formerly used by the Dell 1 monitor. Ok, so now it must be the DVI ports on the bay station (Lenovo) right? Nope. I had a tech bring me a second, brand new bay (identical). Same issue! So this leads me to the video drivers...
Does anyone have any idea. I disabled each driver and reenabled each to no avail. The drivers are the latest drivers downloaded directly from Lenovo's site. Checked the driver settings/monitor setting using both Windows 7 Professional and Nvidia to see if anything stood out. Nothing.
Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :~)

I got a new laptop and when I plugged it into my docking station the external monitors were all in black & white. My old computer still worked fine without changing any settings on the monitors. I found that I needed to go into Control Panel \ NVidia Control Panel \ Display \ Adjust Desktop Color Settings, then select the monitor I wanted to adjust, then set the slider up for Digital Vibrance. For some reason on the new laptop the NVidia settings defaulted to 0 for this.

Official 2009 Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Drivers: Please Consider One Last Update for the Road

The title of this new thread says it all ..... 3 years since the last offical Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Driver Package release ..... a virtual lifetime in computer science years.
I'm looking for advice on how to best lobby the technical folks at Lenovo (by phone or here on the Forums) for one last official Lenovo "Nvidia" video driver update for our T61 and T61p units.
Lenovo's most current "ancient" 2009 Nvidia driver packages (found here),
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001342
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003876
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003605
all leave quite a bit of 3D (and some 2D) performance laying out there on the table based on my own testing with current modern Nvidia reference drivers on a cloned test mule hard drive (and never once crashed with the newer Nvidia reference drivers under WinXP 32-bit or Win7 32 bit).
Most all the major 3D gaming benchmarks were nearly doubled, and most importantly, my real world qualitative performance experience seemed even greater than the nearly doubled quantitative benchmark results.
I'm wondering if starting this new thread would be of any benefit to encourage the good folks at Lenovo to consider one last update after 3+ years?
Before I go to the trouble of posting my results, it is my hope that Lenovo could simply try the latest Nvidia reference drivers for themselves, tweak them (if even necessary) and then issue one last offical T61/T61p Nivida driver package update for the road .... hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of T61/T61p w/Nvidia GPU units are still in reliable daily service.
http://www.geforce.com/drivers
Something to please consider.
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

Hi eecon
It is considered fortunate that Lenovo provides newer driver for newer OS even after the system was phased out. From what I know, most of the OEM / manufacturers do not provide drivers for newer version of Windows when the product is phased out.
Furthermore, graphic card vendors (e.g. NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, etc.) oftenly release new drivers and it is hard for manufacturers to catch up with them. Usually, the purpose of OEM providing new driver is to resolve existing issues. If you need performance, get newer drivers directly from vendors website.
Have a nice day!

Should I let Windows 8.1 Update Nvidia Video Drivers?

Loading Windows 8.1 to a secondary hard drive in my Early-2009 Mac Pro via Boot Camp was a frustrating exercise. But after four tries it took when I found out that there were problems with the Nvidia graphics board driver. During the final successful install I turned off the automatic Windows update and let Boot Camp do the whole thing and the installation took...the machine boots nicely into Windows and has been stable so far.
In the Windows desktop system tray there appeared a notification that a Nvidia driver update was available. Based on my experience with the installation I'm reluctant to let it do that update.
I also get a notification that there is a Boot Camp driver update but when I click on it the browser simply goes to the Boot Camp page but there's no indication of WHAT driver is supposed to be updated.
So my question is - once I have a nice stable installation should I let Windows update this driver in particular and for that matter the normal system type updates (I'm guessing yes to the latter). Does the Boot Camp software on the Windows side take care of this kind of thing? I can't find anything that documents this issue; there's lots of discussions of how to install but not much about maintenance afterwards.
Thanks in advance!

Well I guess I answered my own question…it’s NOT safe to let Windows update its system software. My Windows 8.1 installation was (operative word "was") stable until I let windows updates do their thing and after installing 41 “Important” updates and a restart I received the infamous "Error_System_Thread_Execution_Not_Handled" message. After two restarts the system went into automatic repair mode and thankfully uninstalled the 41 updates and the system returned to normal operation.
The original issue was a video driver conflict of some sort which was resolved by turning off Windows automatic updates during installation and letting Boot Camp install the proper drivers.
Can anyone explain in simple terms the relationship between Boot Camp driver updates and Windows system updates? I’m unable to update my Windows software because when I do so it breaks the system. There must be a way to select “safe” updates otherwise Windows will always remain at the state it’s in w/o updates.
Someone must have cracked this code; I just can’t find any evidence of it.

NVidia Video Driver Causes Immediate freezing upon loading to desktop (K8N Neo2 Plat)...

after many a reinstall, order of loading drivers, i have finally traced my system's problem to the nvidia video drivers. i have no clue what to do. install everything (new nforce drivers, sp2, audio and ethernet drivers, windowsupdate, etc. EVERYTHING except running the nvidia video drivers package and the system does not freeze.
as soon as the video drivers are loaded, restart and once i get to the desktop it freezes. every single time. go into safe mode, remove video drivers, restart and the system doesn't freeze. fast write is disabled. all dram settings at auto. cool and quiet disableed. system specs are:
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat MB (bios is v1.3)
AMD64 3200+ Winchester Core
BFG 6800GT OC AGP Video Card
2*512MB Mushkin Dual Channel Blue Ram (2-3-3-6-1T at 200Mhz)
120GB WD Caviar 7200RPM 8MB Cache IDE HD
NEC ND3520A 16x DVD Burner
CoolerMaster Wave Master Aluminum Case
Coolermaster RS-450-ACLY Power Supply
any ideas?

well i'll be damned. spread spectrum. it was spread spectrum being enabled. there just isn't a more satifying feeling that thinking you figured out what was causing freezes and then finding out it's repeatable!!
spread spectrum on. freeze. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze. spread spectrum disabled. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. spread spectrum back on. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze.
i love it.

Windows XP hangs on 'spash' screen after video drivers installed on K8N Neo4-F

Hiya folks - got a MASSIVE post for everyone here... Sorry but I think it's necessary... Here goes:
I just upgraded everything in my computer except for the HDD. New case, power supply, etc. I started by copying all important data from my original HDD to a portable USB 2.0 drive. My data is safe, and intact on that drive. So... I formated and repartitioned the oroginal hard drive (1 partition), assembled the system and everything runs perfectly. The problems come later....
The Windows installation is insanely fast and smooth... and the system boots into Windows with no problems after installation is complete. I didn't even need to install the nVidia RAID drivers because windows detects my single SATA drive fine. The First thing I do upon seeing the desktop for the first time is: Install nVidia chipset drivers, then AMD Athlon 64 driver (both latest releases). I then restart and the system boots fine. After Windows starts, I'm asked for display drivers. I click 'cancel', as specified in my ATI installation guide, open up the ATI CD and install the drivers via the ATI autorun setup. At this point, there are no further drivers for me to install and NONE of them have an "!" near them. So I figure everything is A-Okay and restart... BAM!! - Windows hangs on the splash screen. The blue bar moves for about 10 minutes, then stops for 2, then moves for 2, and so on... This will go on FOREVER.
So... I boot into safe mode and uninstall the ATI software/drivers with the help of some other third-party programs, schedule a disk check with CHKDSK and reboot. I startup in Directory Services mode to allow the disk check to complete. No errors and the system restarts on its own (supposed to). Now the system boots in normal mode again, but no video drivers installed. So I download the latest drivers from the ATI website and install them. I restart, and WHAM! -- same problem. At this point I'm thinking "bad video card" so again I go into safe mode, remove drivers, schedule disk check, etc.... restart in Dir Serv mode... "one or more errors found" this time... but that's okay.
After the auto-restart I shut down the computer and unplugged EVERYTHING but the video card, HDD and one stick of RAM... then reset the CMOS, checked battery and PSU outputs (all fine) I then went back into the BIOS to ensure everything is set to 'as safe as possible' and restarted. Again I tried the latest drivers, and again the same problem after restart. So I then booted into safe mode, but left the drivers intactthis time. I scheduled another disk check and restarted again in Dir Serv mode. After system restart I shut the computer down and switched to my other RAM stick and booted... same problem. now I'm DEFINITELY thinking "bad video card" so I plug everything back in the way it's supposed to be, reset CMOS and restart with the Windows CD the drive. I again format the HDD, etc... and install Windows.
Now, with another fresh Windows install, having read multiple tech articles, I thought this could be an issue with the NV SW IDE drivers, so I installed the driver pack minus that driver. I restarted and the system boots fine. Next, I again tried installing the latest ATI drivers, restart, and SLAMMO! -- again the system hangs on the splash screen. So, rather than waste my time with disk checks, etc... I did ANOTHER clean OS install. This time I decided to try installing video drivers BEFORE the chipset drivers... no such luck. I restart and Windows hangs in the usual spot.
NOW, I'm REALLY getting upset and can hardly contain my fists of rage that crave to desimate the computer case and all its internal componets. Time to RMA the video card. I exchange the card for the same type, thinking this will solve my problem, I drive happily home with the new card. Wouldn't you guess it... SAME PROBLEM, on ANOTHER clean OS install!!! Now I'm thinking "bad mobo"? - I don't know because it boots fine and runs fast without video drivers, but it seems to be directly linked to the video card. So... I figure "okay maybe these nForce boards don't like ATI cards"... so I return the Radeon X700 and exchange for a BFG GeForce 6600GT. Yep, you guessed it, STILL the SAME problem!!!
I 'm pretty-sure the problem has got to be with the mobo but I can't be too sure. It doesn't seem too likely because the system boots and runs fine with basic Windows VGA drivers. Also, if I were to try and boot to VGA mode after encountering this problem, that would not work at all either, in any situation, other than after removing the ATI drivers or installing windows without them initially. Right NOW, as we speak, I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers/software via safe mode, I ran disk check, etc... but the system will no longer boot in normal mode or VGA mode even without the nvidia drivers installed. I've formated the hard drive and am ready to reinstall again if I can find a solution to this problem.
If ANYONE can help me it would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED! I'm not a dummy when it comes to computers but this is pure MADNESS!!! I couldn't even BEGIN to fit everything else I tried into this forum. I had to sum-it-up, but I will gladly answer any questions from you 'brains' out there and will monitor this site daily. I won't ask the question and disappear never to tell of the solution I may or may not find...
Thanks in advance,
Eilios

Hi,
If you only have one Serial ATA Hard Disk, then you don't need the nVidia RAID Driver. This driver is only needed when you set up a Serial ATA RAID Array or a Parallel ATA RAID array. For this you must have two identical hard drives in your PC, for RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
nVidia SATA RAID drivers supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD. When you install at least two Hard Drives, prepare your mainboard to use SATA RAID and
set up the RAID Array style you want to use.
Then you will need to install the nVidia RAID driver, to allow Windows to "See" and use the drives correctly. This is done by pressing the F6 Key, inserting the nVidia RAID Driver disk , and "telling Windows" where to find the driver it needs, at the very beginig of the Windows XP setup process.
However if you install a RAID driver with just one SATA Hard drive, or two SATA hard drives, (this last scenario not set to be used in an array, but as two different use drives, lets say one for OS and one for MP3 Storage), then Windows begins to load, it will load the RAID driver, but since there's no RAID Array, Windows will keep "looking" for an inexistant RAID Array, and if there's no such RAID array, this will take forever.
That's why installing nVidia RAID Driver may hang your system (which as you saw is not really hung), at the Windows Splash Screen, it is just trying to find something that doesn't exitst.
NOTE: nVidia RAID Controller, supports RAID Arrays into both, the Serial ATA channels and the Parallel ATA (IDE) channels too. But for both options, you always need to have at least two identical hard drives installed to build up and use a RAID Array, which can only be seen by the nVidia RAID Driver, for both Serial ATA hard drives and Parallel ATA (IDE) hard drives.
NOTE: JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Disks = In this scenario, you can combine hard drives of different brands and/or capacities into one big drive that will be seen by Windows as one drive only.
NOTE: Even if you don't have any RAID array, you must install the nVidia nForce 4 Drivers. You can just leave the nVIDIA SATA Driver check box empty.
Hope this helps
I did not have any RAID or SATA drive in my system, actually these were disabled in BIOS. I had the similar experience though. BTW, why NF4 chiset driver is very important to install if Windows XP drivers can get the job done? Look at my link in the previous post.

Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1

Ahoy,
I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
So far I've tried the following to no avail:
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
- Switching scaled views in the display section
- Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
- Running a windows update
- Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
Cheers.

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
Method 1:
First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.

Method 2:
Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
Press the Windows key + X
Select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.

Boot Camp - Lion / Mountain Lion latest video drivers Win 7 64-bit

I've been running Boot Camp on my late 2008 Mac Pro w/ OS X Lion and Windows 7 64-bit for some time now, no probs. Two years ago I installed the Apple version of the Nvidia GT 120 video card...has been working like a charm. Currently all latest OS updates are applied.
At issue: I'm trying to get a new plug-in for After Effects to install and it requires a more up-to-date video driver than the circa 2010 driver installed w/ Boot Camp (Leopard?). When I upgraded to Lion, I assumed all latest drivers would be installed in Boot Camp, and I've seen no info on whether Mountain Lion would provide more current video drivers...running 'Update Driver' (just to see what would happen) within Windows 7 yields "You're using the latest driver", which is not actually correct, but may be in the 'Boot Camp ecosystem'.
Are there any ways I can reliably update the video drivers? I know the retail/Nvidia latest is "296.10" from March, 2012...but likely that won't install or work properly in a Boot Camp setup (or am I wrong?).
Any info/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wait for GTX 670 down the road then.
You had to have used BCA, downloaded and then run the setup - you can even just navigate to, find Nvidia driver folder and check the Details of that. Or why bother, the real driver is Nvidia anyway.

How to tell: Device Manager for one. But the easiest way to see everything, including temps, fan speeds, chipsets and driver versions - and more:
http://www.aida64.com/product/aida64-extreme-edition/overview
Also, most every Mac Pro owner has needed to manually download and install RealTek driver too for audio out the back ports.
Go to www.realtek.com though instead of using MediaFire - they have started causing a lot of pop-unders and other adware that I find disgusting and questionable, even if the site and service needs "ad dollars" popups were something users ran from and why we (try) using and turning off all those things they manage to find ways around. And the malware/adware and SQL-injection schemes are still with us. So watch for and personally avoid MediaFire - might be paranoid but then I consider it reasonable caution.

How to diagnose software / driver / video card issue?

My computer has been freezing up on a regular basis for the past few weeks . . .
I initially assumed it to be a bad stick of RAM, but I was able to reproduce the lockup with each stick individually.
I tried downgrading the kernel (but not Xorg or nvidia drivers), and that didn't fix anything.
At this point I don't really know enough (especially related to Arch specifically) as to how (which) log files to check for a reported error and issue.
The main issue of locking up occurs when I'm watching something on VLC at full screen. It's exacerbated with browsing or doing other stuff at the same time.
After a lockup I don't know if I should be checking journalctl / dmesg / Xorg.log / htop / etc . . .
Any advice / direction of stuff I can be checking after a crash would be MUCH appreciated. It really sucks not being able to use my PC like I used to.
If it help any my board/RAM are ~6yrs old, but the gfx card is new as of this year (I am using the regular nvidia drivers and multilib): EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640

Hi, I also have stability issues so I am also interested in tips how to diagnose an unstable system. In my case, in journalctl the problems right before freezing can be seen, e.g.

I tried various video drivers; nvidia 304, 325, 331 and nouveau, but in any case the system freezes after playing video for half an hour or so. The problem is more rare on a 32 bit installation than 64 bit, so perhaps you could move from 64 to 32 bit?
sorry for your troubles! i am not sure what the exact issue is, but i am on nvidia w/ video troubles as well . . . i have been running atop 24/7 and notice high r/w use of my disk at times when playback starts to stutter . . .
i haven't had a full-on lockup in days, but have still had one in recent time. i am not really sure how to trouble shoot this further.

Adobe premiere can not find any module capable of playing video. Update the video drivers and start again.

I've tried all the options suggested and the problem continues.
What else can I do?
Note: I had already worked before.
Windows 8.1
Notebook i7, 8M memory, video card Nvidia (updated).
Adobe Premiere Pro 2014
Please help me. Thank you.

Here is a link to an Adobe TechNote about the same issue with an earlier (much earlier!) version of Premiere Elements and Windows XP.

I'll leave it to Steve and Bill as to whether the fix offered in the link for Premiere Elements 2 would still be applicable to your version of Premiere Elements.
Hope this is of some assistance.
