I think that my graphics card is the original BSOD - sort sure?

  • I've been struggling with BSOD for a month now and have reinstalled Vista 3 times. I always get the BSOD with a 116 error code indicating the nvlddmkm.sys. I can start safe mode and I can boot Vista with the graphics driver disabled nVidia. When I have the option to check solutions (after going without failure, following the crash mode), I get a message that the nvidia driver has failed. I tried to download the latest driver from nVidia website, but I still get the BSOD. I ran Diagnostics on the hard drive, processor, memory and motherboard and it passes all these tests. I tried running a diagnostic test on the graphics card twice (with the active pilot) and it crashed the system twice.

    So, I think that the card is shot since I was still getting BSOD with the latest drivers. I'm fine with the replacement of the card if it will save my computer, but I don't want to spend the sum of $ if something is wrong with my computer. Are there other tests I need to run on the computer before you buy a new card? Also, should what card I get. I have a HP m9150f with a card Nvidia GeForce 8500. Also, I haven't downloaded Service Packs or updates of Windows (I did the first 2 times I have re-installed and the system still broke). I should install them now or will that complicate things until I get the figurative out graphics card?

    Thank you.

Hello

Video/display drivers and security/antivirus/antispyware products are the main suspects. Which
prevention/detection of malware have been on this machine even if you have uninstalled them.
These type programs can leave problems causing leftovers and those in progress, in particular some antivirus
and firewalls is known to cause strange problems.

--------------------

Remove ALL power and remove and reseat the video card - don't just not tight - actually remove the card
and replace - do the same for other cards, memory and cable (both ends where possible).

Get Support at issue given that there may be problems known.

Best chance is system manufacturer and Nvidia Support and forums.

For drivers: (have you tried rolling back to an older version?)

Download - SAVE go where you put the driver with-on - right click RUN AS ADMIN

NVIDIA - drivers - use OPTION 1 to manually enter your info driver to get the most recent drivers.

NVIDIA Support - check with the support that she might be a known issue
http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html

NVIDIA forums - also check for the forums it might be a known issue or others likely to have

  • Satellite Pro P100: I think that my graphics card is defective

    I have a satellite Pro P100 with a GeForce Go 7600 and think that graphic design is faulty. I was playing a game that has good graphics and I was testing the FPS cause it was laggy.

    On average, that a decent graphics card must be able to give an SPF of 20-29 but my geforce go overlooked 9-13, but I have a Satellite M60-164 before this laptop with a Mobility Radeon X 1700 graphics card and he played much better give me the range good fps. But maybe the Geforce could well be a bad card in general.

    Is it possible to update the graphics in the P100? He says dedicated graphics card.

    Hello

    first of all, no can´t you don't share your graphics card because the card is "wired" on the circuit board. With dedicated was he has it s own graphic memory and does not have a main RAM memory to use as graphics memory.

    Regarding your performance:
    Would be interesting what operating system you are using. In the case of Vista, I understand why performance is not good, because vista requires so many resources that the rest of the apps/games would not get the necessary resources for the successful REALLY.
    If you have Windows XP, then update your drivers, but use drivers on sites like:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (2 GB LaptopVideo & NVIDIA Related News)
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/ (OmegaDrivers.net - home of the Omega Drivers for desktop/laptop ATI & NVIDIA cards)

    because these drivers are almost on mobile systems, and they use the most versions of real driver of ATI and Nvidia.

    Just try it and give some feedback.

  • Aero in Windows has stopped working, the difficulty it says that my graphics card is not supported!

    About 1 week ago my aero wasn't on when I started my pc. When I tried to turn on I couldn't, could not choose aero theme and the built-in Troubleshooter could not find fault. So I tried the fixit windows application and it says that my graphics card does not support aero. I find it very strange because it worked the day before and then suddenly stopped. Tried reinstalling the drivers but it still does not work. I have a card ATI Radeon HD 5570. Help, please! :)

    If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

    Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far. I recommend that you upgrade to IE10 after uninstalling this update (if you updated with that and faced the problem) to get rid of the update forever. But do it at your own risk, because I never updated my machine with this defective update and see if that caused any problems with my machine.

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card in the Satellite A200-195

    Is it posible to upgrade this card for me to play the game of MSTS?

    Usually it of not possible to update the graphics cards installed in notebooks!
    Laptop technology is simply different!
    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

    I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
    If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
    Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

    But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

  • Is possible to extend the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the Satellite P10 504

    Anyone know if it is possible to extend the video memory on the satellite p10 504, or to replace the video card. Because the memory is too small to play most of the good games.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the laptop computers of s.
    Please don t compare cell phone technology with the desktop simply.
    Laptops use other motherboards and graphics cards are mostly welded on the boards!

    Nothing to do, buddy

    I wouldn't buy a laptop if you want to play the latest games! Why? Because of the possibilities of upgrading equipment.
    The desktop PC can be upgraded very easily but not the laptop
