CpxAzn Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) I have the Sager NP5960 with Nvidia GO 7950GTX x2 running on XP So I have a problem where when I install the 160 drivers, it installs, the screen flickers a few times, and after a few times, it stays black and nothing shows up. I don't even see the restart your computer now or later prompt. So I have to restart my computer with the power button. Then when Windows boots up, I get the blank screen again. Then I gota uninstall it in safe mode. Now the thing is, I've actually gotten past this problem once. I installed the 163.44 drivers before, it also had the blank screen so I thought plugging in an external monitor would help so I plugged that in and then the thing is that once I restarted, I could see on both my laptop screen and my external one. Not just the external so I'm guessing that wasn't the solution. So I was using the 163.44 drivers for a while and wanted to try the 163.71 and I tried that, got the blank screen, tried external monitor, no good. Then I went back to 163.44, but then now, I can't get this working anymore either, external monitor also is blank. So basically, there is a way to get the drivers working without that blank screen, but I just can't figure it out. I have also tried the Fn+F7 to change the outputs or whatever but that does no good either. I've searched the forums but I only found people have trouble with blank screens after stand by/hibernate. Any solutions to this problem? Edited September 30, 2007 by CpxAzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 No solution here, but I can sympathize. I have the exact same results when trying to install the 160 series drivers. It doesn't matter whether I try to upgrade or do a clean install - it behaves exactly as you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpxAzn Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well if it worked once for me, there has to be a way. I'll try to figure it out and post the solution if I find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpxAzn Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yeah, I got the solution. I just plugged in my bro's 22" asus monitor and things showed up on his monitor. Then I went into my display settings and fiddled and got things to show up on my screen. Now I have the 163.71 drivers installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
