Display Driver nightmare pls help
Please Help with Driver issue
I recently tried to view a game and it made my computer go crazy with spots and lines. It turned off and said my Display Driver caused it. I did everything from Uninstalling it, Restoring computer, everything possible. Sometimes it works and sometimes I have to restart the computer several times restoring it until it works. I have updated driver. This is making me crazy.. Someone please help me...

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
Hello...
You need to provide us with system specifications... Maybe graphic card is dying slowly... Or you have less power that your PC need... Keep us posted... |

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
Hi
thanks for replying. I am really desperate. My Driver is a Nvidia GeForce 8600m. I went to the website and updated the current version also. I have uninstalled it and updated it. It works a while maybe 1 day then again I have to restore, and turn it on and off until it works.

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
My model is a dv9000 Entertainment series which it says in the front but in the service tag underneath it says dv9500. it would be the DV9500 OR DV900CTO NOTEBOOK
I am able sometimes to boot in safe mode without lines. Maybe once lines did show but usually not. It gives me that option but sometimes it only displays start normal or restore or repair something like that. No my laptop is no longer under warranty. |

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
Did you experince lines and dots on the display before operating system is booted???
I mean, when you turn on laptop, and when operating system is booting, there is black screen with Vista logo and bar under... Do you see lines and dots then? maybe graphic card is faulty... |

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
No, I don't experience lines before operating system is booted.
It appears after the os is staring after that black screen is loading. It shows the lines and then a blue screens with crazy numbers and turns off. so I restore it but not all the time it works. so I do it over and over until it loads normal. I use it maybe 1 day and again I go through it. If I'm lucky it starts normal. I got it to load normal now. HP Pavilion dv9500 Notebook Pc Processor:Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T7700@ 2.40GHZ 2.40GHZ Ram: 2.00 |

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
I clicked to analyze the ATI display and there are no files there.
I thank you very much for you time, patience and hopefully this worked. If it doesn't I will come back and see if maybe its something else. I am glad there is a site and a forum like this to help. Thank you again for everything.

Re: Display Driver nightmare pls help
You should manually install graphic card drivers...
Download nVidia graphic card drivers from HP's Web Site... Un-install graphic card drivers... Restart PC... Manually install nVidia graphic card drivers... Restart PC... I think Vista just reinstalled old drivers, did not update them and stuff... You have to install graphic card drivers from HP's Web Site and make sure you install only the nVidia ones, not ATI... |
