T61p 6460-DVU - nvidia driver unloads randomly

I am a support person office experimented with a few deployments of massive laptops under my belt, and it drives me crazy:

We recently bought about 12 T61p laptop of CDW. It comes to this specification:

T9300(2.5GHz), 2 GB RAM, 160 GB 7200 RPM HD, LCD 15.4 in 1680 x 1050, 256 MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 570 M, CD-RW/DVD-RW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1 Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, secure chip, fingerprint, Li - ion, WinXP Pro 9 c reader

We have upgraded the ram to 4 GB.

The problem, I continue to have is the Nvidia driver randomly discharge itself or hangs and does not appear in the display panel, it said "Nvidia XXX on Thinkpad LCD" instead of "on". No video more acceleration. Windows draw like a 286.

Sometimes the issue is fixed with a complete system shutdown, sometimes it doesn't. He arrived on the dock with a monitor installed and the dock without having a. I tried the latest driver Nvidia for the 570 M on the Lenovo site, no difference. Also tried the new Director of presentation and more recent update of BIOS, no difference. He arrived more than one of the 12 that we bought, several times.

I thought it could have been a corrupted image, I did so I started on the IBM CD recovery. I had installed SP3 of XP, MS office 2007 and some other random applications, of which none had nothing to do with the video card. He did it again, unloaded the driver. shut down and restart disappear that day, but for how long?

I don't know what else to check at this point, so far I have excluded that it is our image of the laptop, because he did the same thing with a freshly restored (after installing SP3).

Monitor resolution or profiles of switching with presentation Manager seems to be a catalyst for it to do, but it does without changing any resolution sometimes as well.

I tried to download the software of nvidia control panel but just using the driver, and which seemed to make it happen less, but there's t - it.

The only thing I have not tried is completely uninstall Manager presentation and do not use it at all. I think it might be a problem with the Director of the presentation and the nvidia card in this laptop, but I have no idea.

Does anyone have advice for me? I already talked to lenovo and their support is worthless. He comes to ask me to send them the laptop. It occurs on several laptops so that will not help me. Support of CEP was a little more helpful, but it's always a dead end.

I just want to post a response here because I found out why the problem occurred, after at least 2 weeks of troubleshooting.

We use a parameter in the boot.ini XP called the "/ 3GB" switch.  This switch allows programs that require a lot of memory to access physical ram more than without it and restricted drivers windows/1 GB of memory (I could be wrong on that, but that's what I said).

Unfortunately, as we discovered - the Nvidia Quadro FX 570 M card do not have this setting, and it doesn't have enough RAM to start correctly when the computer starts.  It then uses the generic adapter "VGASAVE' that windows uses when the video card is not working properly.

There is a tweak to be able to continue to use this switch/3 GB, here called the switch/USERVA, detailed on the microsoft site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316739. I used /USERVA:2950 in the boot.ini file and the card works properly again.

I hope someone on google reads this thread and not wasting so much time that I had to try to solve this problem.  We never had this problem with ATI X 1300/X 1400 in the Thinkpad T60, however.

    Hello

    A few months ago I bought a Satellite A500 - 1:6 and I am almost happy with it. In fact, I have 2 problems:

    1 - from time to time, the screen goes black for a few seconds and comes back to life after showing + a message on the Nvidia driver which has failed, but was back +. I tried to update the Nvidia driver, but it was even worse.

    2. when I use wi - fi, most likely my laptop eventually freezing for a few minutes, then followed by a BSOD.

    I don't know if it's relevant, but I had to update the BIOS when I bought because there was another problem (the laptop awake by itself, early in the morning).

    If anyone has an idea that I can solve these problems, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

    The short question is, should I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

    The long version follows...
    My Qosmio G50 (PQG55A-04J01Y), running under Vista 64 Bit, crashes intermittently. It is sometimes good for more than a week earlier, sometimes once or twice a day.

    I was quite thorough with virus and malaware controls.

    Everything seems to stop, even if the mouse still works.
    I have to turn off the PC, sometimes reboot Check Disk runs and corrects errors.

    > Short is, devrais I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

    Generally, you must use the graphics driver downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
    The graphic card driver from the Toshiba page has been tested and it s certified by Toshiba.

    The common graphics driver nVidia is not designed for laptop and that's why these drivers don't support a protection against overheating.
    Driver Toshiba done!

    So using the page nVidia graphics card driver can be risky and could overheat your GPU so the use of 3 third-party drivers is always at your own risk!

    I have thin you should stay with the driver from the Toshiba page

  • Need the latest version of the NVIDIA driver

    HM... First of all, I must say sorry for my bad English.

    My problem is: I look in the nvidia-systemcontrol, to check which force-Ware-Version I have. Here, I can see, the 156.64 Version is installed. NVIDIA has already released Version 169,25, which is a beta, but I really want to install because it must make the game "Crysis" much better faster and research.

    But I can't find this version here on Toshiba, and when I try to download it from another source, it is when my system says "the installer could not find the drivers that are compatible with my hardware." and then the installation is complete.

    -How I install this Version of the driver (which is the most recent, I think)?
    -What is the reason why the installer is cancelled each time, and how can I avoid this?
    -Any of you know, when Toshiba updates the driver downloads, and why I download this file with only 4kbit/s? Is this due to my DSL or by the Toshiba Server?

    I REALLY WANT TO HAVE THIS VERSION OF THE NVIDIA DRIVER. PLEASE HELP ME!

    THANK YOU FOR EVERY COMMENT!

  • HP Envy 14-J009tx: updating the Nvidia driver is blocked?

    So, I bought this laptop last month, and I tried updating the Nvidia graphics driver for the last of the 347.52 version supplied with it. I opened the GeForce experience app to update, it tells me that it is impossible to connect to Nvidia. Not still even though I changed my home network to the endearing phone, it won't let me update, saying that it cannot connect to Nvidia and I should try again later. I also checked the firewall and AVG (I changed the antivirus immediately after purchase) and allows the application to access the internet.

    So my question is: is it done deliberately by HP or there may be something wrong with the whole of my ISP? And besides, I am interested in upgrading to Windows 10, will there be any problem with all the app that requires Nvidia? I really need the graphics I want to do a lot of CAD in the future.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello MalvinVVV ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on Nvidia driver update and I wanted to help.

    It's generally a BAD idea to update the video drivers laptop NVIDIA (or AMD) because the OEM manufacturers often use specialized versions of video chipsets for which these pilots are not suitable.  The best approach is to update only from the OEM drivers.

    This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/sg-en/product/HP-ENVY-14-Notebook-PC-series/7771343/model/8524508/drivers

    If you press the check now button, he will see if there is new video HP drivers for your PC, download and install them.  If there is no newer drivers, I would leave it alone.

    In addition, I checked the same page to see if there are drivers HP Win10 and there are.  So, if you decide to upgrade to Win10, you will be able to get drivers HP.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

    Hello

    I agree with Garrett. Recovery image is obviously designed with different display drivers and can be used on the same model laptop but with different graphics adapter.
    I'm sure that you can remove this preinstalled software from NVIDIA.

    Anyway, this does not permanently affect stability and performance of the laptop.

  • Missing W550s latest NVIDIA driver for Win8.1?

    Hi all

    I'm working reasonably modern CUDA on my W550s, so I was sad to find that for the 8.1 of Windows, we have pilot 341.01 (n11dl37w), while Windows 7 64-bit has 345.20 (n11dn11w).

    Of course, neither of these is the 347.le xx that I prefer, but because NVIDIA does not reference drivers upward, the best that I can hope request on the forum if somebody has got a new NVIDIA driver running on x 64 Win8.1.

    To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

    Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder.
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed all downloaded
    updates.

    Now, the next step would be to configure Windows Update in order to warn only rather than automatically download and install updates. In this way, you stay in control.
