PhoenixZ Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hy! My notebook's videocard has died (Geforce Go 6800 256Mb), so i've replaced it with a Geforce Go 6600 128Mb. Now the screen ok again, but when I launch a 3d application, de screen goes black, and i have to restart the machine. First i thought, it is a driver problem, but i've tried many of them, (original, and laptopvide2go version too), newer, older, but the problem was the same. Maybe a Bios upgrade help, but i can't find one for the card. I've found an Alienware M5700 firmware :) for the motherboard ('cause i use FSC 1.10C), i read that it's compatible with 3438G, but not sure :) , and I' don't think it will help me. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 What's your Video Bios? Don't know if it has an effect; 39.49 is the old default one, 39.60 a newer upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixZ Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 But this firmware is only for the geforce go 6800, isn't it? This firmware is compatible with geforce go 6600 too? :) What's your Video Bios? Don't know if it has an effect; 39.49 is the old default one, 39.60 a newer upgrade.

zipper Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think the same is used also with x700, x1800, x1900, and even some model of 7900 GS did work. The same firmware was used in all x43x machines: 3438, 4438, 1437 etc (Uniwill P71 mobo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixZ Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've tried it, and very bad news :) It's not compatible, and now my videocard don't works :) 'Cause Geforce 6800 nv41, and geforce 6600 nv43. And I don't made a backup :P . Anybody have an Amilo or Alienware Geforce 6600 Go bios? Please, someone save me :P I think the same is used also with x700, x1800, x1900, and even some model of 7900 GS did work.

PhoenixZ Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think the memory size doesn't matter and i've got nothing to lose... :) I just got one with 256MB Ram---- :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixZ Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Finally I've found a bios, and with a tricky "blind" install my notebook works again, but the problem is the same: newer (2004+) 3d games don't start (Menus ok, but when the time comes to show the 3d playground, the screen goes black and messy, or bluescreen with nv_disp error). It's not a driver problem (I almost tried all kind of drivers). May be the geforce go 6600 video card (from amilo 1439) not compatible with amilo m3438g?
