reflexion Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm trying to get the drivers on my laptop upgraded obviously, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried uninstalling previous drivers in safe mode, installing new drivers in safe mode, numbers of different driver versions, modded INFs and everything else but to no avail. After running the update, when the computer turns on, it runs through the Vista loading bar thing then the screen goes black and the computer restarts. It's an endless loop where eventually the install gets upset and tells me to fix it. The newer drivers take me to a BSOD after going through that loading bar. Any suggestions? Vista 32bit Home Premium NVidia GeForce Go 6150 HP Pavilion dv2315nr Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 can you install your stock drivers that was given to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflexion Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 can you install your stock drivers that was given to you? Yeah, the drivers available on HP update/Windows Update work just fine but they're extremely old and don't include the Nvidia control panel features I need to use.

Dox Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 which drivers have you tried?? safest one would be 167.xx as they are optimised for mobile support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflexion Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 which drivers have you tried??safest one would be 167.xx as they are optimised for mobile support I don't know all the drivers I've tried anymore. At least 5 different ones from 167.xx-153.xx The 167.45 that I just tried a moment ago yields a blue screen after uninstalling current drivers and updating.
