Averius Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hey guys, i have an Asus x57 VN with a Nvidia 9650M GT 1024 MB. My Problem is: I can't use ANY of the new drivers ! The last one working for me is Dox 185.20, any driver newer then this, no matter if it's a modified dox version or a standard release DOESN'T work. If I install any of these ( last one i tried was the 190.15 ) i get artefacts on the windows screen, then the screen flickers and the info that the driver has been restarted comes,because the nvlddmkm thingy has restarted. That happens about 3-4 times, then the nLaptop freezes completly :-/ I have Vista 32Bit, no problems whatsoever with the Laptops games running fine and so on, but i need some new drivers :-/ Anybody got an idea?

leshcat Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Did you try to install SP2 for vista? Did you try nvidia's official driver for notebooks 186.03? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averius Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yes, I installed SP2 as soon as it came out :) Tried the official driver, too , same problem though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siLc Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 ASUS Z97V barebone with 9650M GT 1024MB has the same problem - couldn't use 186.03 nor 186.11 under Vista 32bit and Win7 32bit. Started artifacting and after 3-4 times the system froze. The solution was to use the stock 176.xx drivers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
set604 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Exactly the same problem with Asus m50vn. GeForce 9650M GT (bios 62.94.3C.00.35). Installation of any last Nvidia drivers (from 185.81 and newer) cause system freezes (stable bug, problem reoccurs every bootup). Tested on Windows Vista x64 sp2 and Windows 7 x64 (build 7137). Looks like that problem happens only then built-in notebook lcd is active, but if dispay device is switched to external hdmi (e.g.) - no freezes, everything is ok.

Averius Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Damn,... was afraid of that. Anybody contaced Asus about that? Are there even Laptops with the 9650M GT apart from Asus ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioniK Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, I have this problem too. When I install the new driver (186.03 or 185.85) on my Asus m50vn i get artefacts on the windows screen, but in all games they do not exist !! (((( Now I use the driver 179.28, and until all stable. I have installed Windows Vista 32 SP2. P.S. I noticed that the artifacts disappear from the screen, if you toggle between Entertaiment, HI-performance ... etc, but after some time there again.

Guest Hawkster Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have a Asus N80vn with the 9650 GT / 1gb memory also ,I have been using Windows 7 32bit 4-5 months now, Every new driver I installed would make the system crash or Freeze , every time I would have to roll back the driver to the 181.71, Called Prerelease WDDM 1.1 (02/26/2009) which is the one windows update installed. The last time I tried installing a new driver same thing happened, but I had to hold down the power button to shutdown then when computer restarted it stopped at the checking Nvram , I could not get past this. What I did was Hold down power button to shutdown then I removed the battery. Computer then went past checking Nvram and into windows where I quickly rolled back to driver to the windows update one 181.71. I have not tried any more because this driver runs perfect. The problems may have something to do with having 1gb of video ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averius Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes maybe. Is use the dox ond 185.20 or something, which runs pretty fine. Just read in the news, that a new 179.xx from Asus rolled out. Will test this one, as soon as it is avaiable and let you guys know if it works or not.

Averius Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) ey guys, the new 179.88 from Asus works just fine.

Averius Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thank you for the update. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. In rare cases there could be display driver incompatibility and such display related issues might occur. I am glad to know that system is working so far with an older driver. I request you to work with the known working driver until the next driver release, which will be a stable one. If NVIDIA is able to reproduce the bug, it will be fixed with out next driver. I will be forwarding this card to concerned team. To be alerted by email when the next display driver is released, please sign up for the NVIDIA Newsletters from the following URL: http://lyris01.nvidia.com/NvRegister/frmLoginRegister.asp Again, our apologies for the issues you are experiencing. So, we'll see, if they fix anything ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest voodooflux Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I have the same issue with the 9650M GT on my Rock Pegasus 520 with Windows 7. The problem first reared its head while running the Windows 7 RC last week, after installing driver version 186.31 via Windows Update. After encountering the issues mentioned above I reverted back to the previous version and everything was fine, until I came to install Windows 7 RTM today and the 186.31 drivers were again installed by Windows Update. Any newer version of the drivers also seems to cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
