Guest miejas Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I noticed this benchmark-score-chart and I decided to do some benchmarking too. 3DMark01 SE worked good, slow loading, but not caring. Afterwards 3DMark03 (build 330), first game test (with the planes) works just fine, but after the 2nd loads, Windows presents me this message: "The nVIDIA driver stopped working correctly. This might..." blue screen (of death, yes) The drivers I used first were 66.93 updated to 67.66, tested, crashed format from XP MCE 2004 to XP Pro SP2 installed 71.21, tested, crashed rolled back to 67.03, tested, crashed I didn't pay attention to which INF I used. The 66.93 was not the performance one. That, I am sure of. My Specs: Acer Aspire 1511LMi AMD Athlon64 3000+ nForce3 something chipset GeForce FX Go5700 64 MB 512 DDR333 60 GB HD (Hitachi??) P.S.: It's not a drama if this issue isn't solved, since all of my games work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest miejas Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 K, now it has become a drama. After 30 minutes of gaming, my fps drops to 8-10 fps. Example, I play GTA3, 30 minutes, fps-drop, quit game I start another game, UT2004, after 30 minutes, fps-drop, I quit, get an error about the game quitting unexpected and a blue screen :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 The second problem sounds like overheating to me. Make sure the cooling fins on your machine aren't full of dust (a frequent problem with laptops). The first problem, since it crashes at the same spot evry time, does sound like a driver problem. I would use the Control Panel to uninstall the nVidia driver, then use a driver cleaner if possible, to remove any old bits that may still be hanging around. Then install 67.66 again and see if it still hangs at the same spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest miejas Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I put the vacuumn cleaner against the heatsinks, removed the drivers, cleaned with DriverCleanerPro, reinstalled, same problem. Restored my system using the acer rescue cd's, now the only thing that works is UT. The rest wont even start up. Any of you know how to get Wireless (WPA-Radius, not just WPA-PSK) and optionally firewire work on Windows 2000? edit: Should have bought a Dell?

LSudlow Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 It's possible your Acer requires some special lines in the driver INF. Try downloading a driver for your machine directly from the Acer site and see if it works. If so, we'll try to figure out what's needed and show you how to modify our infs so they'll work for you. If the Acer driver doesn't work, I'd say it's time to contact their technical support. Something more is going wrong than just the driver.

Guest mieJas Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 They've uploaden the wrong drivers. For ATI in stead of nvidia :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Try this one from the US site. It should work okay on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
