There's one "optonal" update on Windows Update which I haven't installed yet.
It's called "nVIDIA - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT."
Is this the new nVIDIA update that I read about a few weeks ago here? Have any of you installed this update? Is it worth the install? Or should I just ignore it? What does it do better to my graphics card?
The news about Nvidia losing money to warranty recalls for systems using the G84 or G86 gets a little worse at times.
Has anyone had their 1420 (or other machine) fail for having a defective GPU? What did dell do to you? Anyone argue for an extended warranty? My warranty is almost up and I am not sure what to do.
My system is still running ok, but I do get mysterious wireless 'fails' from time to time.
I am thinking about buying a used XPS M1530 with an Nvidia GPU card. I don't really see any threads of it burning out/Nvidia flaw like the M1330's. Does this happen with the Nvidia cards on the M1530?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes 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!
I had a chat recently with a Dell rep and he said that basically the only way to get any sort of warranty (in Canada) is to show definitive signs of malfunction on the GPU.
Recently the left side of my computer has been incredibly hot, and annoying to lay my wrists on the palm rest areas (ironic, I know).
Anyway he told me to do the FN + power button combination to boot up and it would run the diagnostic test to determine if anything was wrong .....

I tried downloading the latest Nvidia notebook drivers for x64 and installing on vista x64 and i get this error message
"The Nvidia Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
my macbook has a Nvidia 9400m
How do i install the latest nvidia drivers on my macbook. the ones that came with my are from 12/24/08 (driver ver 7.15.11.7753). And im trying to install 179.48_notebook_winvista_64bit_beta.exe.
can unpack the driver exe and force and update through device manager?
has anyone done that before? or is there another way to get updated nvidia drivers to work on my macbook.
should I download it from windows update site? I dont know the difference between two drivers from HP site and windows update. from hp site there is no such new driver for nvidia and I tried the driver from the windows update it caused forever load after vista login so i uninstalled and went back to old HP's own old nvidia driver so it speeds up.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI updated to 10.5.7 and it runs quite well however I noticed a flaw of video flashing and I wanted to confirm this with others. In Stacks I use the Applications folder in list view. I have a long list of applications so I always have to scroll to go through all of them. When I use two finger scrolling to zip through them I see flashes of video artifacts while two finger scrolling. This only happens when you have enough apps in list view to require scrolling to see them all. For example, with no windows open I click the Applications folder and begin rapidly two finger scrolling through list view and I can see artifacts of the desktop flashing within the list view box. Anyone else notice this after the update? I have already reformatted and installed nothing but my basic apps and still see this.
Apple mentioned that they updated the Nvidia drivers for the unibody Macs. I have a Macbook Air.
i cannot update my nvidia graphics card gt 830m in my hp p001tx laptop and it says it has the latest driver software and also i checked in nvidia website
View 1 Replies View RelatedFair enough my hdd is only 5200rpm not 7k+ but 4gb ram and 2.4 intel core duo my FPS in WOW can drop to like 5 and thats with lowest gfx settings.
Beaware WOW has developed and a new add-on came out last year with better graphics...
I don't know what to do I love the portability of M1530 but the GFX side of things seems . I know its only a mid ranged gaming/performance laptop but its a shame you cannot upgrade it...
Anyone know any alterative laptops with like double gfx performance with same portability
Recently done a clean Vista install and installed "NVIDIA chipset drivers" from Acer support site. It's on a 9301AWSmi
I now get as optional updates in Windows, two Nvidia updates.
1. NVidia NForce Networking Controller (May 2009 published)
2. NVidia NForce Hyper transport bridge driver update (Oct 2008 published)
Is it wise to accept these or not... I know a lot say never accept driver updates via Windows.
I 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.
i have bought myself the aspire 6920G, and i have two questions.
First: I would like to update my Nvidea Geforce 9500M GS driver, i went to the site, downloa section. I found quite a list of files, but i don't know wich file i should download.
Secondly i'd like to know if it's possible to link the gemstone control to windows media player. Atm it opens Windows media center, but i think it's not very good to listen to music while gaming.

I have in my system NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) video graphics preinstalled. I had downloaded &Â installed latest updates for NVIDIA i.e., nvidia graphics driver 335.23, geforce experience 2.0 & physx sytem software 9.13.1220 via hp support assistant following a software update alert 1 month back after i bought my lap.
Â
Today i had to refresh my system due to an error in search charm not listing hp recovery manager {,following uninstall & reinstall of latest hp support assistant 1week back (details can be read from this link: Search Charm Win8.1 Error). anyway search charm error has been resolved.}
Â
But when i checked hp support assistant today for updates, couldnt get any related to nvidia. my nvidia is still old version - nvidia graphics driver 327.02, nvidia physx system software 9.13.0604, nvidia update 1.14.17.
I'm getting update error while clicking Update on nvidia control panel in system tray icon & in nvidia settings.
when i checked nvidia website the update is there for download & also latest nvidia graphic driver update is there in HP Product website too. mine is not the version present in the website at present.
Â
My question is should i download it from websites or should i wait till it come in support assistant. Though there is no visible issue in my system without the update that im aware of. But an update error message is showing while i click update in nvidia settings. also nvidia is not present in start up apps in task manager (or rather no graphics app is present in startup). What should i do?
obviously uninstalled the old ones (removed from control panel, then safemode and use the guru drive cleaner to clean up any left overs)
when i install the drivers it takes about 5 minutes which is the strange thing i noticed, normally takes a minute or 2 at most
after installation i reboot and find that in device manager the yellow exclamation
mark icon next to the vga device, when i try and point it to install from the folder itself it takes about 10 minutes then tells me its failed.
 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.
The Nvidia driver for my Inspiron 5720 does not recognize my card and won't install. It is the 630M.I did a clean format and set BIOS values to default. The latest BIOS is installed.The drive is from Dell's website.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWindows (Vista) Updates shows this update for my Compaq Presario F572US notebook PC: "nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100". The size of the download is 64.3MB.
I visited nVidia's website to see whether they had an update; they had none. So, I'm wondering whether I should get this update suggested by Windows Update or ignore it.
I recently purchased this laptop and I have no alternate nvidia drivers, when installing i get the error message no compatible hardware found. I have already tried adding my device to the .inf list with no success, i might be doing it wrong?Â
Both intel HD 3000 and nvidia GT 625M drivers are listed on my product driver page but i do not know if I'm limited to what comes pre installed.
I'm thinking of updating the graphics driver on my M1530 from Dell's 176.44 version to the latest 185.20 version from Laptopvideo2go.
Wanted to ask a few questions before doing so, mainly:
Are there any problems when "waking up" from sleep with these drivers?Anyone got any benchmarks or comments on performance for these drivers? Mainly play COD4, Fallout3, Farcry 2...Notice any difference in temps.?
Anyone who has installed them i would appreciate your comments!
Should mention I'm running Vista SP1, 4GB RAM, T7250 and i usually overclock my card to 610/902.
I've just bought a DELL XPS M1530 and I'm so worried about the error of Geforce 8600GT Video Card that DELL and nVIDIA has reported!
So would you mind giving me a suggest of updating new driver for my video card? If in case I should update my graphic card, please share me the lastest driver for my Geforce 8600GT.
Since I updated my bios I have noticed that my fans are pretty much always on high and that the heat coming out the back is a lot hotter than it used to be. Granted, I have been using the computer with my big monitor with the lid closed more now but even when I'm not doing that it's still just as hot. Has anyone else noticed this since the update?

I've heard you can't, but don't actually see anything excluding that integrated 9400 on Nvidia's page.
Anyone know? (Or if you can't, can you force install the regular or notebook drivers through device manager as you can on Nvidia hardware under XP?)
I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my new HP 15-R033tx.

I have downloaded and installed all the drivers from the HP website.

But, when I try to install the NVIDIA driver, it says " Install intel ®drivers first"....
Warning, do not install the optional update from Windows update called 'IdeaCom HID Touch Screen (PS/2)' on your Dell laptop.
If you do, your built in touch pad will no longer function.
This happened to me on my XPS M1530. To fix it, in Vista, I simply plugged in a USB mouse, opened up device manager, found the IdeaCom item under Human Interface Devices. Right click on it and select 'Uninstall' and also check the box to remove the driver.
To completely uninstall in XP, you may have to delete one of the INF files from C:Windowsinf. It should be the last one named oemXX.inf.
I’m thinking of doing a clean install on my M1530, and im just trying to decide which options to go for, and which not to.
I will be installing Vista Ultimate. I mainly use the computer for internet surfing, watching films, using Microsoft office, and gaming (Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4 etc.).
The main things I am trying to decide are:
Should I install Mediadirect?
As far as I can see the only advantage of this is getting slightly more (can anyone confirm how much?) battery life whilst watching films on the go. I mainly watch films whilst connected to power, but this could be useful in the future.32 or 64 bit?
I have previously been running 32 bit, but would be more than happy to jump on the 64 bit bandwagon, as I have heard that it’s slightly snappier, and also my 4 gigs of ram would be put to full use. Would there be any compatibility issues with any of my games etc? Would appreciate some info on this. It could lead on to...Dual-boot?
Could have vista 32 and 64 dual booted? Or another thing that took my fancy was perhaps throwing on opensuse? I’m going to open a new thread regarding the battery life etc that this would give to try and decide if its for me,
I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro on my XPS m1530. I am using this driver pack:
XPS M1530 Windows XP Driver Pack (Final) by Udi
Which AHCI driver(s) should I include? UDI mentions in his readme (Method 1) to use 82801HEM/HBM (Mobile) driver. This driver is in both iaahci.inf and iastor.inf. Which one should I use? I have a 7200 RPM SATA HD.
