Dell :: XPS M1730 With The 8700m Card
Mar 27, 2008I am looking at getting a Dell XPS m1730.
If I get it with the 8700m card, can I eventually swap the card out for an 8800m gtx? or are they not swapable?
Also, could I get the single card, then eventually put in an sli co0nfig?
Or if I get the SLI 8700s, can I put a gtx in?
Dell :: Are My GPU Temps Normalusing M1730 (8700M GT SLI)
Nov 7, 2009Core 1 is 69-73°C at idle
Core 2 is 71-74°C at idle.
I haven't stressed them, but the temps haven't changed much at all while playing Batman: Arkham Asylum at 1920x1200. They both got up to 77°C. I don't really play videogames and got this game just because this computer is apparently a gaming machine and it is actually quite fun!
I'm worried about temperatures because I've read about the incredible failure rates of the GPUs in this model and if its already getting wacky, I'll be contacting Dell (as this is a replacement for an older computer).
Dell :: M1730 Wont Let Me Install Nvidia Drivers
Apr 4, 2010I currently have A M1730 with Sli 8800m Gtx and am having gfx card driver problems.
I had 197.15 drivers installed when my system crashed.
To cut a long story short, I fully formatted my HDD I have tried installing the newest 197.16 drivers,
188 drivers and the offical 179 drivers from the dell website but everytime I install them my computer freezes after the Windows loading screen and it just goes blank and nothing happens.
Dell :: Precision M4300 Installed The NVIDIA Drivers For The NVidia Quadro FX 360M ...
Dec 29, 2008I recently got a Dell Precision M4300 from a friend and had a few questions.
When i got the laptop, I reformatted the Laptop and Reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP2. I proceeded from Microsoft to Update to SP3 and so on.
Well I also Went to Dell's Website and downloaded all the necessary drivers (using the service tag) for this laptop and installed them.
Now here is where I ran into a problem,
When I installed the NVIDIA drivers for the NVidia Quadro FX 360M video card, everything seemed to go fine. Then I rebooted the Laptop, and now every time I reboot, my hardware acceleration is defaulted back to None, and it gives me multiple pop ups about this issue. I go into the settings and turn the Acceleration back to full and it goes away.
This is a major problem, and is really frustrating to deal with everytime the laptop is booted up.
My other problem, is when I open up Internet Explorer, It tends to lock up the browser for no reason when Loading a website. I then CTRL+ALT+DEL and attempt to close iexplore.exe via the task manager. It closes the browser but does not shut down the browser, making it impossible to browse, so then I have to reboot.
here are the specs of the PC, from the device manager and drivers I have gotten

Dell :: Nvidia Drivers Vs Official Drivers..
Jan 5, 2010Does anyone know if Dell modifies the video card drivers that they post on the driver download website specifically for their machines?
Or do they just download the latest drivers from the Nvidia webiste test on a particular machine for a little while and either pass or fail the driver for official use?

Feb 11, 2009Does anyone know which is the latest driver (working ) for 8600 GT. I'd really like to update. I tried 181.20 and 22. In unmodified ini "setup could not find any compatible hardware". In modified ini dll files were missing.
And also another thing. All the time when i play games the laptop just shutsdown like it didnt had a power but its on AC. when it boots no errors shows. Maybe i'll try the 179.28 to see. In Vista this never happened!

Dell :: Disappearing NVidia Drivers
Feb 1, 2009Does anyone know how to prevent the NVidia drivers from disappearing?
I just installed 32bit vista and installed the drivers. Shortly afterwards, they disappeared and only the standard vga adapter was listed. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers again.
Again, the 160M was listed correctly. I then installed PowerDVD which wouldn't play. I went back to the adapter and it had reverted back to Standard VGA
Dell :: ~What Drivers Are You Using For Your M1730?~
Oct 31, 2008I have been looking around to get an answer for this question, but all I get is some old threads or inaccurate answers. So, I thought I make this thread to us, m1730 owners, to post what drivers we're using, and how the laptop performs with them.

Dell :: Nvidia 185.20 Drivers Good 4 1730
Jan 26, 2009I just upgraded my drivers to the 185.20s and am very impressed. You no longer have to restart to switch SLI modes and the drivers automatically clock down to 2D modes on the desktop so the card temps are waaay cooler now. Performance is spectacular as well as colors in games.

Jun 29, 2009I've had a Latitude E6400 almost since it came out, so I've been dutifullly upgrading drivers as they've worked the bugs out. I'd like to keep up with the video drivers,
but I've noticed that the latest drivers for the Nvidia 160M are noticeably slower in Vista, particularly in window minimize/restore operations, than the original driver.
This is confirmed by my Windows Experience Index dropping from 3.5 to 3.3 on the aero video score. Has anybody else noticed this problem, or is it just my laptop? Anybody think of a solution? I've tried using the latest driver from the Nvidia site instead of the Dell driver, but the result is the same.
Dell :: New Nvidia Drivers And No HDMI Sound
May 21, 2009I have one problem, and maybe someone stuck on this problem too...
Windows problem report suggested to update video drivers, so from nvidia website i found new drivers (version 185.85).
Everything updated well, but then I tried to connect to LCD TV through HDMI i run into the problem:
the was no sound. I've changed to HDMI output in control panel (usually that way sound was working) and still cannot hear anything. Strange that with old drivers i was able to configure HDMI sound, but with new drivers this function is disabled. Rolled back and sound started to work.

HP/Compaq :: Better NVidia Drivers
Apr 27, 2009I've got a HP Pavilion dv6000z notebook. It came pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit but, I recently changed the OS to Windows XP Home Edition SP3 32-bit. It was a completely new installation of the OS.
Now, I've got a weird problem. I watch the NBA games on this website for international viewers at ilp.nba.com and it goes through an external company named RayV. They provide their own software to watch the games on, I believe it is a p2p kind-a program [if that helps?]; RayV Viewer. In this, the broadcasted video size is 608x336 or something like that and averages about 800k-1000k speed/bandwidth?. They call it the "HD" version.
The problem is, the video continuously "stutters" every 4-7 seconds.
My room mate has the newer dv5t series notebook with an intel core 2 duo 2.0ghz processor nd an intel integrated graphics adapter [x3100/4500?] nd the video works absolutely perfectly on his notebook. Same goes for my friends Apple Macbook [old "lower spec'd" white version] however with mine it has this continuous stuttering problem. I've tried increasing the process priority through task manager but that didn't help either.
Most HD videos work fine in WMP [.mkv 720p] though they stutter every now nd then too.
Like about every 10 - 13 minutes, maybe a little bigger gap but it happens nonetheless.
I've tried the 182.08 drivers from laptopvideo2go.com & the DOX 182.46 version as well as the 86.38 version from windows update but none of them have been able to solve it. Any ideas as to what I could try?
I'm currently downloading the beta of Windows 7 to see how that works on this notebook, I believe the RC is just about to be released & is on some sites so could give that a shot but would love to solve it in XP itself.

Dell :: Inspiron 9400/e1705 NVidia 7900GSWindows 7 X64 Drivers Tip!?

Dell Inspiron 15R :: Unable To Install Nvidia Drivers Downloaded
Mar 8, 2013 I don't have the ssd msata option in the laptop I just purchased from Newegg so I decided to buy a samsung 840 250g ssd and do a clean install of win 7.Updated ssd to latest firmware, disabled secure boot in bios, sata was already set to ACHI, installed ssd and started loading win 7. It would get to the point that the tiles are floating around and it says "starting windows" and then locks up. Tried this several times and same thing.
Finally tried changing boot mode from eufi to legacy it works fine. I got win 7 installed. Now if I try to go back to eufi boot mode it just goes to a black screen (on start up) and displays detecting media (or something like that).So I guess my question is:
1. Why did I have to switch to legacy mode to begin with
2. Does leaving it in legacy boot mode affect performance?
One last thing, since installing win 7 I have been unable to install the nvidia drivers downloaded from dell for win 7. It either starts and immediately fails or it installs a little then I get a blue screen and the computer reboots.
Acer :: 6920g Nvidia Drivers
Aug 16, 2009i have the 174.51 drivers from acer for my 9500m gs and i was wondering if i should update them to the 186.03 from nvidia. I heard that the ones from acer have some optimizations for the hdmi port and if i connect the cable everything will work great on the tv ( sound , image, everything). Should i get the new ones or stick with the old ones ?
