Troubleshooting a freeze: HP DC7800, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290, Windows 7

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems with my HP DC7800 & Windows 7 (fresh install, 64 bit). The video card is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290.
When any official NVIDIA driver is installed, I can boot into Windows 7, but just a few seconds into reaching the log in screen, there is a brief flicker & everything freezes. Though sometimes, the keyboard does respond: the CapsLock & the NumLock lights on my keyboard respond after a delay of, 5 seconds to 2 minutes. 
When rolling back to whatever the default Windows drivers are available before installing the official drivers (WDDM v1.1?), I can't even get to the Windows log-in screen. The monitor displays "No Signal" and it's all blacked out. I have to shut it down with the physical power button.
When going back even further to the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter, I can boot into normal mode. Though using the same driver as the one in safe-mode is far from what I'm after.
Also, I should mention that I'm on a multi-boot system with Linux. They are on a separate drive and they can boot with comparitively-minimal problems.
Debian 7.7 with the open-source nouveau drivers work perfectly well.
Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04.1 with nouveau works well. With enough arm-twisting & the right combo of packages, I can get Ubuntu to work with the latest, official proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
Because I can get the NVIDIA card to work in 2 Linux distros, I'm fairly certain that the card is NOT completely broken.
It is the fresh-install of Windows 7 that is giving me trouble.
I've upgraded my BIOS to the latest available: 786F1 v01.32, 7/21/2011.
After updating BIOS, I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling several official drivers (309.00, 331.82, 333.11 & the latest: 341.05) with similar results.
For what it's worth, there is also an HP announcement. Should I update my Video BIOS, as the announcement says? How would I do that?
Other possibly important or irrelevant info:
* when the NVIDIA card is not in the computer, I connect using the motherboard's VGA slot & I can boot into Windows 7 normal mode perfectly well. 
* when the NVIDIA card is in the computer, I can only boot into Windows safe mode. Booting Windows 7 into normal mode will freeze the computer a few seconds afterlogging in or reaching the login screen.
* At an earlier point in my troubleshooting, I was getting a BSOD screen, which mentioned the nvlddmkm.sys file.
* I've looked at my error logs, and they mostly report Event ID 7001 (Service Control Manager) and Event ID 10005 (Distributed DCOM)
Main questions:
Is there something about updating my Video BIOS, as per the link above, that would help? Or is that video BIOS update included in the whole-system BIOS update to v01.32?
If I can get my computer to work in Windows 7 safe mode, Debian Linux (with open source driver) & Ubuntu (with open source & official proprietary drivers), why can't I get Windows 7 to work in normal mode? 
Are there any display-specific error logs that could clue me in? The only error log I know about is the one available through Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.
Are there any alternative, reputable drivers available for the Quadro NVS 290 on Windows 7?
Thank you for your time and please let me know if you need any more info or if there's something else I can do.

When installing that HP Nvidia driver you linked, and even switching to DVI port #1. I got the same results:
boot into Windows normal mode, get to the log-in screen. There's a flicker on the screen & everything freezes.
Hmm, well I went ahead and tried using an official NVIDIA driver in my Ubuntu setup (14.04.1). The packages I installed for Ubuntu were 'nvidia-331-updates' and 'nvidia-331-updates-uvm'.
It works well, as long as I go into my NVIDIA X Server Settings > GPU 0 > PowerMizer > Preferred Mode > Prefer Maximum Performance.
I have to do this immediately after logging in, otherwise Ubuntu will freeze after about a minute.
I can do some moderate gaming, Team Fortress 2, resolution set to 1280x720, after about 15 minutes I log out and see that my GPU temp is 77 Celsius.
With the same configuration, at rest, the GPU is 64-66 Celsius.
Maybe my card is toasted? From my limited understanding of drivers, the official, proprietary driver will enable the more advanced features of the card. This only seems to be a problem when I use the NVIDIA drivers...But please correct me if I'm wrong.
Moderate gaming with open source nouveau drivers on Ubuntu doesn't perform well, but it doesn't crash either.
Anyway, I think I'll go ahead and order another card.
In the meantime, is there a way to configure the NVIDIA card from the command line for Windows normal mode? I'm trying to think of a way to work with it before the Windows GUI is loaded.

  • 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.

  • Which display driver package do I need for Nvidia Quadro NVS 110m?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to (Arch) Linux and was wondering which display driver package I need. I have a Dell Latitude D620 with a "nvidia quadro nvs 110m".
    In the Arch Linux beginners guide it says:
    1. nvidia-96xx slightly newer cards up to the GF 4.
    2. nvidia-173xx Geforce FX series cards
    3. nvidia newest GPUs after the GF FX
    Consult the NVIDIA-Homepage to see which one is for you.
    But on the NVIDIA-Homepage it says:
    The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer.
    And they just forward me to Dell Support which obviously neither offers a linux driver nor linux driver information for the D620.
    So which of the three packages do I have to install?
    Are these packages open-source drivers? Do I need proprietary nvidia drivers to get full 3D-performance?
    Does anybody have experience with the D620?
    Although I'm new to Linux and I like the KISS idea behind Arch Linux, I still want to have all that Compiz Fusion eye candy. I also want to play a few games which need 3D performance (once I'm familiar with wine). ;-)
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Blackhole

    Thanks a lot.
    Final question: How does Arch Linux deal with license issues? If the nvidia package includes the original nvidia drivers linked above, doesn't that cause any legal/moral problems? Like in Ubuntu for example they always point out that it's proprietary software you're gonna install when enabling the nvidia drivers.
    Just wondering...

  • Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M (Dell Latitude D620) driver issue

    I'm having trouble installing the right driver for Nvidia QUadro NVS 110M video card on my laptop. What ever driver I install it requests for a reboot and when I restart, I get a blue screen.
    Things that I have tried (all resulted in blue screen after restart).
    Update driver using Automatic update
    Downloaded driver from Dell support site (for Vista)
    Downloaded driver from nVidia
    Downloaded beta driver from nVidia
    Please note: It used to work on Windows 7 before on the same laptop - I was trying to replace HDD and cant seem to make it work again with the new OS installation.Chandra Sekhar

    Hello,
    I'd suggest you installing the XP driver in Compatibility mode. Remove that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows XP in the list-down box;
    If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; some old driver is not compatible with new OS. I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding!
    For more details, please look at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum.
    What can I do if my hardware does not work?
    This will give you some guidelines.
    Good Luck!

  • NVidia Quadro NVS 285 and 30" titanium cinema display

    Does the nVidia Quadro NVS 285 (or 55/280 PCI) support the old 30" titanium cinema display? I'm running the display to an HP tower via DVI-D dual link adapted to a DVI dual link (DMS-59), and I can't get it to work. Can anyone help?

    I wish I could offer some advice. Instead, I am seeking your thoughts on the new card. Did the X800XT work? I have the same machine as you and am looking to upgrade my 64mb geForce 5200 card with either the 9600Pro for Mac or PC or the X800XT card (by Radeon).
    Though it seems like production of the X800XT card has slowed to a crawl, I've found some for sale online. Just nervous, as I've read mixed things!
    Your opinion would be welcomed.
    Thank you,

  • 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.

  • Tecra M5 Nvidia Quatro NVS 110M Windows 7 32bit driver

    I upgraded to Windows 7 operating system without any issues until a few moths down the track my graphics driver corrupted and I have tried to reinstall it several times. I downloaded the driver from the Nvidia site ver 179.48 for Win 7 but I just keep getting a code 43 error and the display defaults to 800x600 16 colors. When I click to update the driver it does so sucessfully but when it reboots it defaults back to the setting above. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the driver but same issue arises.
    I have reinstalled Windows 7 (I have Ultimate N) 32 bit operating system but noo good it defaults back to the problem with the driver. Can anyone help me with a more appropriate version of the driver to install please. I tried to look for it on the Toshiba site but could not find one.

I downloaded the driver from the Nvidia site ver 179.48 for Win 7 but I just keep getting a code 43 error and the display defaults to 800x600 16 colors
    Usually the display resolution should be higher even if the display driver was not installed.
    The point is that Win 7 provides an standard Microsoft driver and this driver should run properly and the display resolution should work too.
    Do you have any display problems using the Toshiba standard image?
    Check this because I think that a graphic card issue might be possible

  • NVidia-185.18.14, Quadro NVS & Multi-monitor

    For anyone who recently upgraded their drivers to 185.18.14, you may have this
    problem where your secondary monitor refuses to work anymore.
    This is especially so if :
    -  your graphics card is one of those Quadro types
    -  it has one of those special card-output (video-cable connectors) where one
       single DVI connector splits into two separate VGA ones.
    This might also affect laptops with a VGA port to output to a secondary screen.
    Long story short, put this in your [xorg.conf] file, under the Device section :
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
    So it'll look something like this :
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName "Quadro NVS 290"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
    EndSection
    That basically forces the card/driver/gremlins to detect your second monitor
    as a CRT, not a DFP (digital flat-panel). If you're connecting both screens via
    normal 15-pin VGA cables, they're both CRT connections, not a DFP.
    I sourced this from a Debian user's posting :
    http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-use … nview.html
    Hopefully, this will solve your problem as it did mine.
    eeg

    I get the same error after replacing my VGA-cable. Maybe the cable (without those 'noise-cancelling magnets' on it) is hindering the EDID-data to be correctly detected...
    Zl.

  • 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,

  • 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!!!!

  • 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!

    You can directly download via Windows Update.

  • Update of photoshop CC - trouble with NVIDIA Quadro 1000M display driver. PS freezes

    Hey guys,
    Since today I've got trouble with my PS CC.
    I've updated PS CC yesterday 2014-12-12.
    I was doing some drawings today and two times PS freezes during switching layers of or selecting a mask.
    A message appeared that there was trouble with the display driver an PS switched off the GPU support because of that issue.
    Ok, I thought let's update the display driver and so I've done today. I switched to actual NVIDIA display driver version 314.21
    I'm working with an NVIDIA Quadro 1000M on a DELL mobile Workstation Precision M4600 with 8 GB RAM.
    Now when I start up PS and press alt+k, my 2 displays showing a black screen for 1-2 seconds.
    After closing the general setup window again black screen for 1-2 sec and the top menu bar is showing no entries.
    When I move the mouse pointer over the bar, the menus appear again. But the bar is like transparent at the parts where no menues are.
    When I unlock the window from the screen an put it back fitting to the screen everything looks like normal.
    Till today I hadn't any problem with my notebook in that kind of way.
    Maybe someone has or had similar problems.
    Would be nice if someone can help me.
    thanks

    Oh, that sounds very bad. It's not that bad for me. It's not crashing that often at the moment, only black screens at start up or if setting dialog is opened. But I will see tomorrow how often it will crash, during today it crashed 2 times when doing some ridiculous simple actions like switchid to another layer  and the other time when trying to edit an mask layer. I will contact the support chat on monday regarding this issue. Maybe there is a solution or an update soon... I keep may fingers crossed for you.
