ofelas Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Quick question - I updated the video BIOS on my Quadro FX Go1000 a while back, but what exactly does it do? Here is the description on the Dell site - - Active power down memory setting disabled: Intermittent pixel corruption or lock up. - White screen (bloom) when exiting Dell internal diagnostic. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 That first line means it disabled the "Active power down memory setting" which fixed the "Intermittent pixel corruption or lock up" problem. The second thing fixed was the "White screen (bloom) when exiting Dell internal diagnostic." I guess I could elaborate. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I guess it means they fixed some bugs. Don't know if the memory performs a "power down" like a hard drive? I would gather the memory didn't restore properly so they killed the feature. A bloom of white appeared. Like a white flower blooming in the middle of a black petaled garden. I think I prefer the psychadelic colored screen I once saw! :) NV fixes the bugs and Dell is allowed to tweak the BIOS. I doubt Dell did anything to it. Sorry Bill, had to chop out that last bit. Little "edgy" not knowing where ofelas is from. Besides the resolutions above are a bit cryptic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
