T61 nvidia quadro 140m memory failure

This probably goes along the same lines as some of the other problems noted here with these video chipsets. A while ago, I tried upgrading the driver for my quadro 140m and it would hang on boot up. You would see the first vista loading screen and the it would just go black and then eventually reboot. I found that the standard vga driver worked just fine for business stuff and I stuck with that all summer. I now think it was just coincidence that the hardware failed at the same time I loaded a new driver.
Today I decided to try and trouble shoot this a little more. I downloaded and ran the DOS version of PC Doctor and when I ran the video memory test, it failed with bad readbacks. I also noticed that I can see some small vertical lines through the ThinkPad logo on the startup screen. When I tried to test the GPU, it gave me a host of error messages stating that I had to have the test application in debug mode - that the app was testing with hardware interrupts that were unexpected.
I'm guessing the standard vga driver (vista64) doesn't use the on board memory?
So the questions are, is video memory something that can be fixed? Is the GPU still ok? Or, am I in the same boat to have the mobo replaced like many others?
TIA
Dave

You can either replace the motherboard, or sell it in its current condition.
Personally, I'd just forget the whole T61 generation and move on to T400/500 or W500.
Good luck.

  • T61 will not boot with nvidia quadro 140m driver

    Hi all,
    A couple of weeks ago, after allowing MS update to install some FTDI driver updates, my system will not boot up and hangs shortly after the initial vista loading screen. The screen goes black with some HD activity and eventually reboots. After trying a couple of restore points with no luck, I started to remove the latest driver updates and other software to my system again with no luck. 
    If I uninstall the nvidia driver and use the Standard VGA driver, it will boot and come up properly. I've done a bunch of web searches and searches on this site and can't find my exact circumstances. Its hard to believe that it could be a  hardware issue since it started after a software update, but since it hasn't been a problem for anyone else, I'm just not sure at this point.
    I've tried earlier versions of the nvidia driver, removing other drivers and services trying to find a coincidence, but nothing seems to work. I'm kind of at a loss at this point. Does anyone have some suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Also, does anyone know if using the Standard VGA Display driver without problems on this system means that the video card hardware is working? In other words, I'm trying to rule out a hardware problem with my nvidia quadro 140m card, so if the system works fine with the standard vga driver, would that mean the hardware on the card is ok? 
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Preemptive mobo replacement T61's with Nvidia quadro 140m ?

    Have been doing some reading on the Nvidia problems.  I own two T61's (6457-DSU, 8889-26U) which have not had a GPU failure yet.  The dates (next to serial number) on the back of these machines are 08/03 and 08/02 respectively...although the 6457 does have an internal date stamp that is June, 2008 I believe.   My questions are:
    a) what is the failure probability, and b) what is availability of known 'good' replacement boards (intel or newest Nvidia)?  I understand that it's hard to answer the first question.  With OS, memory, wireless, and SSD upgrades, I'm happy with how these computers are performing.   If I'm in there replacing thermal material (thanks TuuS for that suggestion) I wouldn't mind going further with the board replacement if I can find good ones.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you are referring to the date on the nVidia chip itself, it uses a different coding system YY/WW  (year/week) instead of YY/MM (year/month) that the laptop uses so an 08/06 would be febuary 2008 not June 2008.
    As for availability of boards, I can get the 08/08 boards for your 15.4" model, or the Intel boards. for the 14" standard screen model, they weren't in production when when the updated gpu was used but there are a couple brand new (old stock) boards that were recently uncovered which have gpu chips from 2010. They won't be available long and as far as I know are the only one's availbable anywhere. You can buy them refurbished from ibm still, but they usually have the same problematic gpu chip and come with a shocking price tag. Intel boards are the most cost effective option. 
    However, if you want to keep your current boards in service as long as possible I recommend you clean and reseat your heatsinks every 1-2 years, get all the dust out and try to avoid unnecessary heat/cool cycling. Don't allow them to go in/out of standby so when they are on they stay at a relatively constant temp. The biggest stress these chips face is the transition from room temp to operating temp and back. Turning the laptop on/off when it's not necessary will take it's toll on the gpu.
    I also agree that these are great systems and well worth keeping.

  • T61(14.1 WXGA+) with Nvidia Quadro 140m

    My 4 year old laptop display appears garbled. The BIOS screen appears greenish. Also once my operating system has started up, it seems that alternate columns of pixels are not lit up.
    Now my laptop has been out of warranty for 2 years but i am pretty comfortable replacing parts myself. So i can try to source parts, but i am not sure if the LCD or the GPU is at fault. External display works fine, but if my understanding is correct that does not mean that the GPU is fine as it uses different buses for the internal and external output.
    So is it the LCD or the GPU? Is there a way to know for sure?
    thanks.

    Here is a list of some compatible boards.
    Intel GM965
    Nvidia NVS140
    41W1487 Merom
    41W1489 Merom
    42W7866 Penryn
    44C3933/42W7867 Penryn
    The intel board has a different heatsink, but you can use the nVidia heatsink on intel, but cannot use the intel heatsink on nVidia. If your CPU is a Merom class (T5xxx/T7xxx) you can use either Merom or Penryn board. If it is Penryn (T8xxx/T9xxx) then you'll need a Penryn board, or a modified bios.
    These numbers are for 14.1 widescreen systems ONLY.
    You'll have no trouble installing an Intel board to replace an nVidia. Also note that there is no conclusive way to prove a board came from an 08/08 system unless you have the bottom case with label and the serial numbers match the bios numbers.
    ps. let me know if you can't find an affordable board and I'll try to help.

  • T61 nvidia driver causes font problems

    after my last update a new graphics driver for the nvidia quadro 140m was installed.
    the new version (7618) caused bad problems with my fonts. (they could not been displayed)
    -> only squares for each letter 
    it took me a have day to find out, that it was the graphic driver (i didn't expected that).
    After I reinstalled my fontexplorer and repared my windows installation several times,
    it took me another half day to find the download to the old driver again. (7471)
    ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7kd165ww.exe
    now it works again with the old driver and i hope there will be an update and at least a notice in the thinkpad system update.
    frustrated greets. 

    Hi Puschl636,
    I had a similar problem. I have 3.03a of the presentation director and the most current display driver.
    If I boot with dual screens, the first time I do it, I have to open the lid to the laptop and then close it after startup and it will usually move to the dual screen profile.
    It may be a temp fix, but after that, as long as I have it docked, the dual screens come up.
    Hope that helps!

  • Driver please! NVidia Quadro NVS 140M Windows 7 64-bit

    Installed Windows 7 RTM (Professional, x64) on my T61.  Surprise!  There's no driver for my NVidia Quadro NVS 140M, and I can't install the one that I downloaded from NVidia.  I'm stuck in 1024x768.  Ouch!
    What's the plan, Stan?
    If there are any driver hackers out there who could help me install NVidia's driver, please speak up.

    I'm running now using the NVidia-provided driver for Windows 7 x64.  I was able to install it by running the installer in Vista compatibility mode.
    For Windows 7 newbies, the specific steps are:
     * Download the installer (186.81_notebook_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql.exe)
     * Run this file to extract the files to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO
     * For the two files nvudisp.exe and setup.exe in  C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO, do the following:
     * Right-click the file, select Properties.
     * Click the Compatibility tab
     * Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"  Select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
     * Click OK.
    Then double-click setup.exe to run it.
    So far this is working for me.

  • Vdpau and full screen youtube problems on Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M

    I have Nvidia NVS 140M on 64-bit Arch. I am trying to find perfect configuration for my Thinkpad with no luck.
    I used to have nouveau drivers, now using nvidia-173xx. The problems are following:
    1) YouTube videos:
    - with nouveau I was not able to watch any video (it was like a slideshow)
    - with nvidia everything works fine.
    I'd prefer nouveau than nvidia, because of KMS.
    2) Glxgears
    As far as I remember, you can check if acceleration is working, using this tool - CPU usage should be not changed after glxgears started. On both drivers (nouveau and nvidia) running glxgears process uses 100% CPU.
    3) vdpau
    According to this thread, my card supports vdpau. I can not make it to work.

    Dunno.  Comment them out, restart X and see what happens.

  • T61 with Nvidia QUADRO: DVI on Advanced mini doc don't work

    Hello all,
    I have a very annoying problem with lenovo T61 with NVidia quadro nvs 140 (type 7664-1GG, 1400x900, 7200rpm wdigital hard upgrade, Vista Ultimate x86, 4 Gb RAM (2 Gb upgrade)). The external display (ViewSonic VP2030 20") on DVI does not work after turning reboot or undocking/docking again. Usually a reboot resolves the issue, but not now: finally it doesn't work even after rebooting. If I plug it (or another display) via D-SUB, it will work. The monitor's DVI definitely in excellent condition.
    It happend several times previously with various drivers and BIOS versions, better with one BIOS version and worse with another. Now I have the latest BIOS and latest NVidia driver.
    Please, help!!!!

    Hello all,
    I have a very annoying problem with lenovo T61 with NVidia quadro nvs 140 (type 7664-1GG, 1400x900, 7200rpm wdigital hard upgrade, Vista Ultimate x86, 4 Gb RAM (2 Gb upgrade)). The external display (ViewSonic VP2030 20") on DVI does not work after turning reboot or undocking/docking again.

  • T61, Nvidia 140m windows 8.1 64bit driver

    Recognizing that Windows 8.1 is not officially supported, does anyone have a recommendation for a T61 Nvidia driver version in Win 8.1 64bit ?  I had moved away from the Windows-provided driver initially before discovering that the problem was something else (wireless adapter).  Recent drivers from Nvidia seem to work most of the time.

    Just use the latest nVidia ones, they work perfectly.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT vs. NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M?

    I just have a PC vs. Mac question, as I am looking at the new MacBook Pros. Which of the following NVIDIA processors is the best for intense graphic applications? Why does Mac only have 1 option, and is it superior to the PC options?
    PC
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M
    NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 140M
    Mac
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
    Many thanks!

    what do you want to do with such devices, work, play, and specifically which software?
    usability is often ignored by people who get swayed by paper-based specs, and it is important to know what you are going to do with a machine before making up your mind, not just which processor and hardware has a .01 percent coolness factor above the other.
    I am somewhat biased, for I have developed an intense distrust, disenchantment, and pretty much an aversion to what you would call "PC" software and OSes. Twenty years of DOS and Windows have left me no fond memory, if not for the fact that I know how to fix a lot of software and hardware problems (you learn when you are constantly confronted to problems, and problems abound in the world of Windows).
    A Macbook Pro is a beautiful machine, and it is hassle free a good 90%+ of the time, you can install Windows if you must anyhow, but Apple doesn't sell for cheap. Mind you, most high-end PCs do not cost much less anyhow, just the low end ones.
    The 8600M GT card supports DirectX 10, can play even Crysis on a 32-bit Windows version very well (I play it from time to time, beautiful), but it isn't a 8800 card, nor is it the best card in all of laptop PCs. I do consider the Macbook Pro a desktop replacement, and I have very intensive use of my machine (scientific software for academics and industry, video games, multimedia, you name it).
    So if you must play the latest game, and I mean the latest, with the highest frame-per-second count of all your friends, don't go for a 8600M GT, (ii) for a laptop anyways (laptop were never, never meant to compete with desktop-grade hardware, no matter what you local wise arses will tell you), and (iii) buy a console instead. BUT, if you want to play most games, very well, and you are concerned with media editing, usability, stability, reliability, etc., a Macbook Pro is a beautiful thing to have...
    Cordially,
    Dr Sly

  • T61 NVIDIA driver not working?

    Hello!
    I have a really old T61 (Type 8895) and I updated it to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit from it's original Windows Vista Home Premium recently, which means all the drivers are gone.
    So, I went to Lenovo Support and searched for it's drivers, and one of them was a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M (v296.88) driver.
    Each time I try to install it, it tells me: This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.
    I decided to get a newer driver. So, I went to NVIDIA's website, got the newest driver (v320.00) and still, it would give me the same error.
    So, I googled the problem, still couldn't find the problem I am having.
    What is going on? (I need the laptop for some testing before I decide to get a new laptop and waste money)
    Thanks!
    Sincerly,

    Your model 8895 doesn't have nVidia graphics, it has integrated Intel graphics but this is a good thing since the nVidia chips sometimes fail on similar equipped models. You want to install the graphic drivers for the Intel GM965 that matches your windows version.
    If you want a more detailed explanation, the nVidia chips used in T61 series built before August 2008 sometimes fail resulting an need to replace the motherboard. Your system is a 14.1" with standard 4:3 screen. This size was phased out starting in the end of 2007 and general production stopped about May or June. We've never seen any of this size manufactured in August 2008 so the only way to get a board with a Good nVidia chip on one of these is an extremely rare new replacement board. The supply of these boards has been exhausted for years but there were recently a few found still sealed in the original IBM boxes. These rare boards generally cost about what the used laptop is worth, but are still a good investment considering this is the last and best Thinkpad made before the switch to the widescreen format, it's also the only standard screen model that supports 8gb of ram. Many users retrofit these T61 boards into T60 models too since they had better screen options.

  • Nvidia Quadro drivers

    I was able to get going using the Vista drivers on Windows 7 on my T61 discrete graphics (NVidia quadro nvs 140m) to get going on the RTM. 
    I've checked the driver matrix and haven't found any driver marked Windows 7 yet.  Any tips?
    Much thanks!

    HP/Nvidia Quadro 600 graphics card hangs w/ blue hp startp screen after installation into HPE h8-1220t.
    Error: After installation and startup, just it sounds a 'beep' and after a minute, it beeps again. No further progess w/ HP blue screen.

    I contacted both HP and PNY customer support. They've not found any solution yet.
    Only the suggestion I heard from HP customer support is change the graphic card w/ PCIe 3.0 support.
    I believe PCI slot should be backward compatible w/ 2.0 version. 
    Does it really matter install PCIe2.0 graphic board on 3.0 slot?
    My ohter option is AMD FirePRo V4900, which is one of the certified graphic card for the Autodesk.
    However, I'm not sure wether it works with this machine.
    Please give me an answer.

    Hello masterqueue.
    This desktop was a CTO (Configured-to-Order) model.  As such, there is a lot of information I do not know about the machine.  Most importantly, how large is the power supply?  According to the computer's specification page it could have anywhere from a 300 watt to a 600 watt power supply.  That is a very big difference.
    I'll keep an eye out for your response.  Have a great day.
