nVIDIA GeForce Driver 472.12 WHQL modded for 980M

Hello everyone,

After modifying the mdvmi.inf file, gets a black screen at the end of the installation with the latest nivdia drivers (472.XX)

With nvidia 466.77 driver, no black screen

do you have the same concern?

my configuration is as follows:

Ranger 17r1
Cpu 4910qm
Gpu 980M
120 hz screen N173 HHE G32
16gb Ram

 

471.68 does not give a black screen on my 980m with the rest of the specs in the signature. I did not try the newest driver yet, which I will try out now.

Edit:
Tried the latest 472.12 driver in Windows 11 and Windows 10 - no black screens. I did not test it any further. I played a game in Windows 10 and the driver seemed stable, the game was not very demanding though. Are you sure you moddified the entry correctly?

 

Thanks for your feedback.

Do you have the 60Hz or 120Hz screen?

Can you forward me your inf file. ?

 

Here is my hardware identification number :

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05AE1028&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05AE1028
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&CC_0300

Thank you for your help

 

Here you go My screen is 120Hz, but that should not matter.

 

Same observation, black screen

Thanks for your help


We will see with the future drivers

 

Do you wipe the old drivers with DDU? At what point in the installation process do you get the black screen? What is the last thing you see on the screen before it just black? Do you get any error messages at any point?

 

All drivers before 466.77 work fine.
My problem starts from driver 471.11.
The black screen appears at the end of the installation (I have no error message).
I think this problem is related to the screen (N173HHE G32) or graphics card
I have the impression that it is deactivated at the end of the installation as if it was not supported

I would have liked the opinion of the processor of a 17R1 Ranger to understand

 

Or it could be that the modding of the inf is happening on the wrong Section ID which does have ties to screen edid fixes.

 

Always the same whatever section id

 

I'm having the same issue. Modded drivers have worked great in the past. Could it be a Windows update causing the problem?

Ranger 17 R1
CPU 4910qm
GPU 980M
120 hz screen N173 HHE G32
32gb RAM

 

Are you doing the driver mod yourself? Just remember that the newer drivers have Windows 10 and 11 support so you need to add the device ID line into both OS sections of the .inf to make sure you get the correct one for your machine. This could possibly be the problem if you are having issues installing the driver.

 

This will probably apall most od you... but...
Why do i need the new driver exactly?
I have no intention of upgrading it, its from august 2020 when i installed the card.
Works absolutely magnificent
Perhaps for some new software/games?
I cant even find the time for older ones but thats just me i guess
