Y410P Nvidia graphics drivers crash when gaming

Hello everyone. I'm having an issue with my IdeaPad Y410P where the graphics drivers for the system's GT750M will randomly crash. A search turned up this thread but it was of no help. Some details:- Problem began this May.- Problem does not occur after a specific period of time. It may happen after 5 minutes of gaming or an hour.- Problem occurs regardless of driver version, or whether I'm using Nvidia drivers or official Lenovo drivers.- Problem occurred in two Windows 8.1 installations and still occurs in Windows 10.- Problem occurs regardless of GPU temperature - I have monitored the system using GPU-Z and have not found any trends.- Problem occurs regardless of game played.- System usually recovers but game remains totally frozen after crash. At this point I'm starting to suspect that the graphics card itself is at fault. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Uninstall the currently installed version and and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here:

(bootcamp) graphics card crash when playing games

Firstly apologies if I've put this in the wrong section of the forum... this is the most applicable I could find.
Having tried to enquire at the good folks of AMD, they told me I needed to see apple. Finding a support email is nigh on impossile - so either that or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
I have a boot camp partition on a mid 2011 macbook pro - my graphics card is Radeon HD 6750M.
I have recently been experiencing graphics card crashes when playing games.
There is no boot camp update available, so I am forced to update the driver manually. Trying to use the automated detection/installation tool on the ATI site resulted in the error "your computer doesn't have a proper graphics adapter"
When I located and downloaded the mac bootcamp drivers from the ATI site site, and I tried to install these it was unable to detect my existing microsoft C++ distributable or install its own - so the installation failed.
All advice welcome!

yeah - it *might* have fixed my issue - or at least it hasn't crashed yet... jynxed it now ofcourse ;p I have acouple of questions though...
Why did this just start happening - I've played other games and this game before without these crashing issues?
I'm worried about configuring this fan thing correctly - lots of 'if your hardware gets damages it's not my problem' warnings on the software site. I know there's only 4 options - how do I ensure I select the right one? ie I thought I had a unibody macbook pro but it can't find the second GPU?

Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

Hello again,
Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

YES we are both stating the same thing however in different terms. You will be fine with the updates that you are talking about. Just ensure that the drivers that you are updating match the make/model of your graphics adapter.
If something doesn't work out then you can always revert back to the previous driver.

Not Able To Install Nvidia Graphics Drivers

Hello all!
This past week I just finished putting my new system together with a K8N Diamond Plus. Only major problem right now is i am not able to install Nvidia's drivers. Below are my components...
XP 64-Bit Edition
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
BFG 7900 GTX 512MB
1 Gig Coirsar Ram
2 Wester digital HD in Raid 0
When I try and install the graphics drivers i get the message " The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
I used the chip set drivers listed here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=710&kind=1
Also I have tried the ones from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_x16_6.83
The graphics drivers i used are from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_81.98.html
BFG Tech support guy had me look under display adapters in device manager. It only has Standard VGA Graphics Adapter listed. He said I did not have my chip set drivers installed (though i have), or the motherboard was not recognizing it. Also he said they do not support XP-64 and would not offer me any more support so long as i run it.
I just can not believe that XP 64, 7900 GTX, and this great K8N Diamond Plus can not get along.
Any advice anyone has for getting my Diamond Plus and my graphics card to jive together would be greatly appricated.
Thankyou all!!

Thankyou guys for the responses. I was able to find drivers that worked with my card here..
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?drivers&series=80&os=2&type=1&dir=1
Now my only current issue left is that I have no sound. It is enabled in the BIOS, installed the 64-bit drivers from MSI site, tired installing drivers off disk. Any suggestion?

[SOLVED] Why do closed nvidia graphic drivers consume so much RAM?

I'm using nvidia Geforce 7600GT graphic card, and I tried to install nvidia-304xx graphic drivers. Everything went smoothly, but after my system started I saw that there is 4x times more RAM consumption when compared it to nouveau driver. See the following pics:
http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/7117/starto.png
up: nouveau || down: nvidia
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/148/graphicq.png
left: nouveau || right: nvidia
I've been trying to solve this issue for 2 weeks, but I have no idea why my system consumes almost 400 MiB of RAM when only openbox is started. Compared to debian + full gnome -- 280MiB. Both systems are using the same nvidia driver. I tried even to borrow the kernel from debian and then install the drivers, but this doesn't help. Still apps in the graphic environment consume several times more RAM.
As you can see, having only 1GiB of RAM I can't afford to have 400MiB openbox. Try to think about opening web browser or other apps. xD
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I saw similar thread on this forum, but I can't find it anymore, and there was exactly the same situation, or more or less.

Vorbis, you're my savior! It works.
I changed some stuff since then, but I had 90 MiB graphic environment (nouveau). Now I have 129.0 MiB (nvidia) -- it's 40 MiB more, but I can live with that. And of course, it is not 300+ MiB.

How do I update my Nvidia graphics drivers on Bootcamp using Windows 8.1

Hey all,
I have been running bootcamp with my MacBook Pro with retina display, mid 2013 model for quite some time, but only recently did the windows 8.1 update from windows 8. I have been prompted by some games, namely Fifa 15, to update to the latest Nvidia graphics driver. Now, i know that just downloading the driver from the website is bad as bootcamp needs to run on the drivers anyway, so how do I update these drivers? and what is the latest set of apple support drivers for my model, because I keep seeing different ones everywhere. also i would rather not wait for an update on the part of apple support drivers.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sam

Please see Huge lag in games on bootcamp as a reference. The linked thread is for a GT750m.
Since there are no mid-2013 Retina models (as per Apple - Support - Technical Specifications), assuming this is your Mac - MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) - Technical Specifications - the same should work for you.

GF4 4400 Crashes when gaming

I'm hoping someone out here can help. When I run 3d applications (games), after about 10-15 minutes I am either booted back to the desktop or given a BSOD (usually only after being booted once). I'm on a pretty fresh install here, so I figure it has to be a setting somewhere. Anyone out there have any clues? My specs:

System crashes when gaming with my gf4ti4200

Hello,
I have been having problems with my MSI GEFORCE 4 TI4200 128MB DDR AGP TV OUT/DVI since the day i got it. It works perfectly fine for normal windows use, and even some games (unreal 2, splinter cell, etc). But whenever i try to run certain games like warcraft 3, mafia and nhl 2003, it locks up my system in the middle of gameplay.
I have tried plenty of drivers, none of them fixed the problem. I have also installed the latest chipset driver and bios and still no luck.
Im running a P4 2.4B Ghz, with a soltek sl-85dr2 motherboard, with 512ddr, window xp (w/ sp 1).
Overheating shouldnt be the problem, i lots of cooling in the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

I had all same problems u had, I even reinstalled my system to no avail. then I spoke to a friend of mine who is a system engineer he told me it was a conflict between Nvidia Drivers, my Chipset Drivers , and Windows XP.
he told me to try Nvidia Driver 30.82 which he reckons is Nvidias most stable driver and to download all versions of my chipset drivers and try them one as a time. I did this and found that the new VIA Hyperion 4.46 driver with the 30.82 worked fine so I would suggest you try this approach as I was pulling my hair out for well over a month until i tried this, I nearly came to a point of trashing my system and buying new board and graphics card. but after going on numerous forums it seems it a very common problem with must boards and Nvidia Graphic cards but all is well now thanks to my mate so please try this and u might find it does the trick. I get no problems now and all games work.hope this is some help to you

looks like the known problem with the kernel and nvidia freeze. are there more packages that i have to downgrade?

1) Remove current graphics card drivers, run >>Driver Sweeper<<, reboot and install latest drivers from AMD's website. Try the drivers from MSI's website too.
2) Test the card with >>MSI Kombustor<<.
3) Test with a better power supply.
4) Test the card in another computer.
Does it happen in all games?

System crash when gaming (Update: Temperature Problem?)

Hello there
I have a problem: when starting games (Minecraft, Relics of Annorath, Portal, World of Goo tested) my Laptop crashes. The screen gets black and the only possibility to turn it back on is to remove the battery, wait 10 seconds and then reboot. I don't see any error messages, not in the journal and not in the Xorg.0.log. I have a HP 8470w with a Intel i7-3610QM Quad Core and a AMD FirePro M2000 grapics card. I am running kernel 3.10.10-ARCH with fglrx. Is anyone aware of this problem or can help me even just pointing out where to look for the problem? If you need more info, please tell me.

After not finding anything in my graphic settings I just ran lm_sensors with the following output:

Could these 127°C be the problem? It's getting pretty hot while gaming but 127°C is almost impossible...

temp6, temp7, temp8 are strange.... but because it's impossible reach these temps (+127 and +0) I think those sensors are not used or bad report data
if you think it's a overheating problem, you must log temps (sensord+rrdtool)
so you'll get the latest temps before the PC crashes

Satellite A500 Issues (graphics Card freezes when Gaming)

Hi Everyone hoping you can help!!
I recently purchased my Satellite A500 Laptop and I have 2 extremley bad issues!!!
Firstly apparently my model number doesnt exist it is PSAM3A-04100E which is proving to be a right royal pain in the preverbial when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!
Secondly is my major issue,
I do a lot of gaming (sims 3, Callof Duty that sort of thing...) and whenever I am playing I think wow this is great excellent fps great graphics and then FREEZE!!! my computer completley locks up and shuts down, no warning signs of lagging slowing down or anything and it does it constantly!!!
I was wondering if anyone else is suffering from this problem or whether I look should look for a driver update I have searched around but cant seem to find it anywhere.
I dont really want to take it back to the shop because then I wont have a compuer for weeks!
Any help would be massively appreciated,
Many thanks
Tasman

>PSAM3A-04100E
Where you bought your notebook? What is the country of purchase?
New Zealand maybe?
Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your notebook model there but as I can see Win7 drivers are not available at the moment.
Next week I will get my Satellite A500 and I will test it with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
Anyway before you start the game stop all useless running processes and set power plan to full power. Be also sure your notebook can take a breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Put also back side of your notebook on two CD boxes to have higher distance between notebook and the desk.
I hope everything will works well.

Xorg crashes when gaming

Hello
Xorg crashes systematically when I play such games as Supertuxkart, Supertux, 0ad, Ennemy-Territory, Pingus,... It does also the same with google-earth
I can start playing but after some time, I get a black screen, my keybord gets blocked and the only when out is to make a hard shutdown.
Stopping the computer "manually" has also the disadvantage that the Xorglog gets lost, so I cannot see what causes the problem.
I am using Arch x86_64 with the last nvidia driver (I have a GeForce GT320 card) and I have installed the lib32 packages that are going with the video drivers.
Any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks

I'm not an expert, but if only X crashed, you should be able to use REISUB https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts
If you can't do even this, then it may be not just X, but the kernel.

Qosmio X300 - new nvidia graphic drivers are uninstallable: no nvidia chip

hello,
i have the qosmio X300-14P with windows 7..
i play actual games (f.e. skyrim) which need the LATEST video driver!
the x300 is said to have a nvidia geforce 9800M GTX video chip.
however, when i download the latest driver (295.73 today), at installation it says :
no nvidia hardware detected - unable to install !
=====================================
this is so with all nvidia drivers in the last 2 years (with windows 7 and windows vista alike) !
what is the problem ?
did toshiba not include an nvidia chip, but a cheap chinese noname chip, or what is the problem here ?
whatever notebook i had before the toshiba, it would accept actual nvidia drivers.
only the toshiba qosmio x300 doesnt.
why ?
it is vital that i install the latest drivers, how can i get by this problem ?
the driver that toshiba offers for the qosmio x300 is almoust 3 years old (2009, now it is 2012!) -
this is ridiculous!
an actual video/graphics driver is urgently needed, it is vital that the nvidia drivers work.
i ask toshiba :
HOW can i get the latest nvidia driver to work in the qosmio x300-14P ?
which is said to have a geforce 9800M GTX nvidia chip (though nvidia driver says : it does'nt).
how can i get the latest `nvidia drive (295.73)r to work ?
thank you
q.

thanks for the answers to all, especially blob.
yes i am a gamer and therefore i need always the very latest graphics driver.
(yes, skyrim runs, but not with highest settings of course).
but i am about to buy a new notebook soon anyway.
this branding is a problem i came across earlier with the toshiba ram already.
that's the reason why this time i dont buy a new toshiba notebook anymore,
i will switch to lenovo.
i thought about the qosmio x770, as it has some nice features.
but they removed firewire etc., well ok, i could maybe live with that,
BUT i CANNOT live without an express card slot !
the xpress card slot is vital, as only there you can expand your notebook.
missing firewire could be corrected by a firewire express card, i always
use e-sata hdd connections, so i have an express card with 2 esata ports
(to have faster hdd writings). one internal esata port (even a combo port esata/usb2)
is just not eno8gh for me, i have usually connected 2 or 3 external drives.
as well i quite often use my express tv + video card.
that a notebook at this price has no express card slot is unbelievable !
this is a knockout feature for me.
i can swallow a lot, but not a missing express card slot, as this is the only feature
that makes it possible to expand a laptop (with a e-sata card, with a tv card, f.e.).
and so i could switch my tvc card and my esata card and whatever else i need
or might need later.
i might have purchased the x770 had it an express card slot, but without
it is so ridiculous that i would never buy it, no matter how good the other features are.
an express card slot is VITAL for every notebook.
that someone could spare it it like selling a rain jacket without a zip.
too bad, because else the x770 is not so bad.
i wonder what made them cut the express card out in a notebook
(that is not expand-friendly anyway).
i saw that some others companies did it as well.
this will not be a fortune, as i foresee that many people will, if not at once, then later
hate the missing express card slot.
it was about time that they put good graphic cards in notebooks (while once they are branded,
they are a hassle, good or not), and now they start cutting the vital express card slot.
unexpandable is the first that comes to my mind when i think about the x770.
the product designers at toshiba seem not to be very good.
branding, missing express card slots - what else may we have to expect in the future ?
i was about time to switch.
