luther01 Wrote:hi mate i have had this problem many times. in xp this problem still occurs, but instead of the computer saying that the display driver has failed, the computer just crashes. it can be caused by incorrectly set up memory, settings in the nvidia control panel, over heating. in my case, the problem was caused by my memory timings. once i adjusted them the problem went, so the problem isn't necessarily caused by the driver. if you have overclocked your memory, set it to the recommended settings. do a clean install of the graphics card drivers. to do thisok, well the laptop i run has nothing tampered with in terms of overclock ect, i have no idea what to do wth nvidia as i am not an expert, i asked my friend who is much better then me an he too can't figure it out. the worst is that Hyperlobby is unplayable and i wanna go on the net!!
1. download driver sweeper (google it) and install it
2.go to device manager and uninstall the graphics card and select the box to delete driver software
3. reboot into safe mode (press f8 on start-up)
4. run driver sweeper to delete nvidia drivers
5. empty recycle bin
6. restart computer and install new drivers from nvidia site
7. use default settings for nvidia control panel
also use the nvidia temp monitor or such to check your graphics card temperatures, and post them back. if these dont solve the problem, i will try to help with more solutions because i know how annoiyng it is
it dies just after the game loads to 100% on the start screen. if anyone could tell me what can be done like what worked or didn't wrk on their comp, maybee it will hlkp this, also my friend says it isn't vista but Nvidia thsat does it. also it cannot be overheat as this comp is so good, no game i have even runs fans full speed, and when they do, that means it hot
to bad i now lost my excuse for how much vista sucks!
die Nvidia!!!!!
