99GrandAmSE Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 so i'm trying to update my drivers and i can't get anything to work. I tried doing the clean install w/ the 177.66 drivers, but when i tried the 'have disk' method, my GPU never showed up. So then I just used the setup.exe file in the driver folder. After it installed, I tried running 3dmark06 and it BSOD'd about half way through. Rolled back driver and installed the ones that came with my computer (156.xx or something, not so good performence). When i tried again, I just went to the device manager and updated the driver using the have disk method and when i restarted it looked like all the files were there. 3dmark06 ran fine, but when i tried playing a game....i got the BSOD very shortly. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had the exact same issue when i was in vista. I THINK it was to do with powermizer (GPU is downclocked when idle) When i went back to XP i still had the BSOD. SO i turned powermizer off in the nvidia control panel (something that isnt in vista) and I never BSOD with it off - (always 100% clock speeds). But you can also turn powermizer off in vista by following the guide: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....t=0&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
