Poor resolution of dektop after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion Media center 8020n PC connected to HP w1907 monitor with optimum resolution of 1440X900 at 60 hz.
The display adapter is Nvidia GE force 7350 LE. It has Windows vista home premium with Intel Core 2 processor.
I recently updated the video driver from nvidia website version 266.58. Right after the download at the first bootup there was a big difference in the screen resolution. The picture is not crisp and sharp like it was before the update.
I have tried to uninstall the new driver, unnstall the old driver and restart in safe mode with the antivirus off but it still gives the same poor resolution with streched out picture.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Look here for a monitor driver update. Install the driver and reboot. Then check the monitor type in the Device Manager. Now does it indicate the HP 1907 monitor?

NVIDIA Tesla C2075 Disappeared after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have 2 NVIDIA cards, the primary is NVIDIA GTS 450 and the secondary is Tesla C2075.
After upgrading
linux 3.6.9 => linux 3.7.9-2
nvidia 310 => nvidia 313.18-3
nvidia-utils 310 => nvidia-utils 313.18-1
opencl-nvidia 310 => opencl-nvidia 313.18-1
The cudaGetDeviceCount function in CUDA didn't recognize Tesla C2075,
and cudaGetDeviceProperties couldn't find it as well.
Strangely enough, Tesla C2075 still shows up in nvidia-smi and nvidia-settings,
and some programs using opencl-nvidia interface could recognize Tesla C2075 as well,
the problem is only with CUDA programs....
I tried reinstalling cuda5 and recompiling the binaries,
switching the Tesla C2075 to the primary video card,
but they didn't make any difference.
Any idea on how this could happen?
Now I just down-graded nvidia driver and Tesla C2075 shows up in CUDA programs again....
Thanks.

[SOLVED]Fusion-icon won't start after Nvidia driver update

Hi,

NVidia driver update seems to help stuttering playback...

nVidia released a driver update on 8 Jan 09, ver 181.20
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_181.20_whql.html
My system was usually very good, as far as playback anyway, but this driver seems to have gotten rid of the remaining stuttering.
For me, it was totally random. Same everything would be fine one day, and then stuttering the next, until I had played the timeline once or twice and then it would settle down. Now under 181.20, it is playing well first time, every time.
There are still some wonky things with Photoshop not recognizing the Open GL v.2.1.2 even though After Effects uses it fully, but overall, it seems like an improvement.
Thought folks would like to know about it...
HTH,

Interesting thread. I just downloaded the driver and installed it this evening.
It certainly improved things in some areas, although I cannot say that it made Premiere useable.
It did stop the 10-second GUI freeze-ups.
Video now plays with a very stuttery quality, until it hits an unrendered title overlay--then it smooths out and seems to play at full frame rate.
There are serious problems with the audio, however. Often there is no audio, or, shortly after playback begins, I get several loud bursts of white noise alternating at random in left/right channels. If I let it continue to play, I get a BSOD which states that a critical system process has stopped responding and Windows is being shut down to protect the system.
With this driver, Premiere CS4 is one small step closer to being usable, but still has a long way to go.
No problems noted in PhotoShop, but AfterEffects still crashes when OpenGL is enabled in AE. That's three nVidia driver updates I've done on this quad-core system, and all three of them are no good for OpenGL in AE. :(

Start up error and beats audio crackling after realtech driver update

I am having several issues.
If I plug in a external hard drive, the OS will not start and goes to "press esc for start up menu" in lower left corner on a black screen. I press esc and it goes to boot options. I have done what HP states and hard started my computer twice and it did not help, and I have found no other suggestion to try and fix this. I have tried everything, including a system recovery and it still goes to the start up menu options. If I disconnect the external, it will still appear, but the operating system will start up after a few seconds. Why do I have to disconnect my external to start OS. And for some reason, my external has been seated in the hardrive section of my computer, instead of the removable storage devices in my computer.
Also, after updating realtech driver, my beats audio speakers pops and cracks. I tried to roll back driver, but no changes. Please help. I dont want to go thru the trouble of sending my computer back for repair. This is really upsetting!!!! I cannot play any videos or music, because of the crackling. Why did it do that, and is it fixable. My laptop has not been jarred or dropped in any manner to have caused any damage. It started after the driver update, and even tho I rolled back the driver, it still does this.

Hi @rbuckner35 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 17t-f000 Notebook and issues with Beats Audio and startup issues. The startup looks at the USB as one of your Boot options. So it can not load anything until it know that this is not a boot device.
You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue with the sound.
Here is a fix that has helped others.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
Things I've tried:
# booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
# connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
# I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
# It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
# The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

Cannot Ctrl+Alt+F1 after nvidia-173xx update

I have recently discovered that I cannot switch into "terminal mode" with the latest nvidia-173xx drivers (nvidia-173xx-173.14.25-1 and nvidia-173-xx-utils-173.14.25-1). Whenever I do Ctrl+Alt+Fn, the screen goes black with no terminal prompt. Then the only thing to do is Ctrl+Alt+F8 (F8 instead of F7, as it used to be) to go back to the X11 session.
This happens also if I logout from KDE and select "Console login" from within the KDM menu: the screen just goes black (after flickering a bit): in this case the only solution is to wait for KDM to kick in and display the (GUI) login screen.
An other thing I discovered is that, when I shutdown/restart the computer and the X11 session is terminated, the screen goes back to terminal mode but the display (and all those messages about services going down) is dimmed down.
The temporary solution for me is to go back to the previous version: nvidia-173xx-173.14.22-4 and nvidia-173-xx-utils-173.14.22-4. Here everything is fine (going to console mode, screen during shutdown, etc.)

I wasn't able to find any relevant messages in Xorg.log. Another piece of information that may be relevant: the framebuffer resolution is set to "vga=773" in GRUB (which, I think, automatically disables KMS).
I'd rather be able to upgrade my nvidia driver in the future. Have anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any workaround it?
Thank you very much.
[Edit] I forgot: I am on i686, the monitor is an LCD widescreen and the nvidia card is an old one: FX 5200 [/Edit]

Hey, I can confirm this, albeit with a different driver.
I have upgraded nvidia drivers from 190.56 to 195.36 and I can't switch back into console once X is started. The boot output is printed correctly though.
There is also another issue: If I don't set vga= in the boot options, my boot output hangs at "Waiting for udev uevents to be processed [busy]" (see: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92189).
.After a while X will start, even without vga= parameter.
The problem definitely doesn't exist with 190.56...
Maybe time for a bug report to NVIDIA?
Problem also stayed even if I exchanged vesafb for uvesafb.
Cheers

Black Screen On Boot After Nvidia Driver

I just installed arch and went to install my nvidia driver right afterwards. I now boot up and after grub i get a black screen. I am 99 percent sure i know what this problem is and i have had somthing similar with gentoo. I have a sandybridge so i have my nvidia card and the intel hd graphics. i remember in gentoo i had to go in the kernel config and disable intel hd graphics . i dont know how i would go about doing this here as i am new . i really dont want a custom kernel.

SEMI-SOlVED
if you have a sandybridge motherboard and have intel hd graphics on in your bios (Lucid). after the nvidia driver is installed udev seems to pick up the intel card at boot. Blacklist i915 and intel_agp to fix this problem.
what loads those modules udev? mkinitcpio? is there any way to have them both? like choice your primary video card? im sure if i had two monitors i would be able to boot up with the one pluged in to intel graphics and when X loads xinerma would work with both. i dont have dual monitors but it still would be nice to have an option. is there any sandybridge features in linux?
Thank You
Paul

Nvidia Driver Update?

What is the best source to continue to update my Nvidia card? I just downloaded the current driver from Nvidia last week 305.93. Lenovo & Windows both have a driver updates listed for my T420. What is the best choice to use?
ChiefR

Hi ChiefR,
Please use Lenovo ones as Windows Update and Nvidia will only list generic drivers, as this might not compatable with other preload programs and generic drivers might not support specific functions designed for this machine.

T61 (7664-1bg) nVidia driver update?

Hello.
The driver for my nVidia Quadro NVS140M is a bit old now, september 2009 I think, and I'd like a driver update. Concidering how often nVidia releases driver updates, that should in theory not be a problem.
However, I find that the drivers page for my aforementioned laptop only has the old driver. Say, isn't there an updated driver? 1,5 year old driver is a bit too old for me.

Even though it's not an optimal gaming computer, I've been known to play a game or two on it. And recently, some of the games I play suggest a driver update to enable some of the newer features.
I am aware that newer graphics card drivers usually work for just the new cards, but I do like my hardware drivers up to date. Downloading a driver directly from nVidia did not work, and it told me to get the driver from the computer manufacturer. This is very typical with pre-built computers and notebooks, and it kind of annoys me.
Aw well, if there isn't an update availible, I guess I'll just have to live with it

Nvidia driver updates to OS X - How often?

How often are GPU driver updates to OS X released by Apple? I am operating under the assumption that minimally each new major release of OS X would include the latest GPU drivers available from Nvidia or AMD as the case may be. So, in going from Mavericks to Yosemite I would expect a newer Nvidia driver than whatever was in Mavericks. Am I correct about that?
I note we just got a driver bug fix via software update for 10.10.3. Considering the gravity of the bug it fixes, I am thinking the bug was introduced in a relatively recent driver update.
Information about this stuff is not particularly easy to find despite time spent with Google and even in talking with Nvidia second tier support. Their claim is that they do send all driver updates to Apple as they release them but they also reminded me that Apple's process of approval and the time it takes comes into play which they could not comment on beyond that.

The.first.nizza wrote:
But for what sections of OS-X devices will this update be for free?
And when installed, will this also update the installation hard disk?
Thank you,
Any Mac that can run Mavericks can run Yosemite. If you install it your hard drive and the recovery drive will be updated.
Wait for it to come out, backup your Mac and try for yourself.

Nvidia Driver Update for MSi Gt 683

Hello Fellows;
I own a MSi GT683-244R notebook.
I received a Beta key for testing the game Battlefield 3 but when I try to start the game they said that the Nvidia Driver is a old version and I need the latest one. I went to Nvidia web page to try to update my driver and I saw that my notebook from MSI is not supported, I need to download from MSI Website. On MSI driver page (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064) the driver version is 268.12 and on Nvidia driver page (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us) the lastest certified is 280.26.
So, my question is... when MSI will launch the latest driver for our notebook???
GT is a gaming notebook series, so we need the latest driver, please MSI, update it for us.
Best Regards;
FaHeinen

Product Support
This driver supports the following NVIDIA notebook GPUs (please refer to the Products Supported tab for exceptions):
ION notebook GPUs.
GeForce 8M, 9M, 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, and 500M-series notebook GPUs.
Quadro 5010M, 5000M, 4000M 3000M, 2000M and 1000M notebook GPUs.
Quadro NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
Quadro FX-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
And by the way I use them on my GT680 without a problem.
You cannot install any video drivers outside of the live update. Nvidia released a beta driver specifically for the Battlefield 3 beta that has been released. because its not available through the live update, you cannot install it on the MSI notebooks.

Photosmart C4780 - Prints extra page even after HP driver update installed

With Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) installed, I have noticed that completed print jobs remain in the print queue for my HP Photosmart C4780 when printing from Safari and Preview. If I want to print another (different page), I usually have to delete the previous (100% complete) job from the queue so that the printer will print (I seem to recall that sometimes, with a Google Chrome browser, this is not necessary). If I close my MacBook Pro's lid (which puts it to sleep) with a completed print job remaining in the HP queue, it will then print again for a second time.
Today, I installed the driver update below, but the problem did not go away when I tried to print from Safari and Preview.
Critical HP Print Driver Update to address printing of an extraneous page - 2014-01-31 , Version1.0.0, 10.56M

Windows 7 Won't Boot After Nvidia Driver Installed, MSI Gaming N770

Hi I just bought the MSI Gaming N770 2gb and after installing the nvidia drivers, Windows 7 will not boot after my motherboard POSTs.
I bought this to replace an AMD card. I uninstalled all the AMD drivers before putting in the MSI card. I've also run the Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and everything.
After a few hours of research, I finally came across a thread about flashing a vbios, and something about these cards not working with motherboards with UEFI bios.
I'm using a P8Z77-I Deluxe mini-itx board, with a Rosewill 630W psu.
I have both 6+2 PCI pins plugged into the two 8pin power ports on the GPU.
Is this an issue that can be fixed with turning off secure boot? or by flashing a vbios onto the card? Or is the card a dud? Or do I have to re-install Windows.
If the vbios is required, are there instructions on how to flash it? I have no idea how to flash a BIOS. Thank you!!

Had to update BIOS. All fixed!!!!
