C90s.....Nvidia BSOD

I got a BSOD and a restart while the machine was at the point of going to sleep I believe. Vista informed me the unexpected shutdown was because of the Nvidia Graphics Driver. I'm using stock drivers. Doesn't happen all the time, but has anyone else experienced this? I hope Asus is following this sort of thing on this forum.

Ken if you're reading this, is an ATI card coming out soon for the C90s?

BTW, I've applied every patch known to humankind . But overall, everything is running really great except for this occasional problem.

 

I had this problem occur when I was overclocking. if you are overclocking at to high of gpu or mem the driver will restart and you will get that message. Be carful though I overclocked at high levels and because of it a few openg games had problems opening, so i had to reinstall my drivers which fixed the problem.

 

That Radeon HD2600 card in some other Asus books - is that an MXM card? Or could we find some sort of way to rig it up in the C90s? I had heard that they were making them with GDDR3 like the nvidia so maybe that card might prove better in the notebooks than the radeo vs nvidia battle on the desktop front (long story short: ATI got OWNED)

 

I'm just running in standard mode, mostly playing Supreme Commander and GalCivII and haven't even tried overclocking yet except to see that it worked. I think Ken posted on here that an ATI card was coming for the C90.

 

Yeah the 2600 is supposed to be comming out for the c90. Not the HD version tho I think so its more like a 8600gs not a 8600gt.

It may change, we will see.

 

You can consider modded more recent drivers, since you're using stock... (to avoid the BSODs at default clocks)

And I have strong doubts ASUS cares about this forum

 

That's what I'm trying to do, and trying to figure out how to do so without taking a massive performance hit. I'm using Vista 32, and have the gddr3 card.

 

I had similar problems... sometimes everything worked seamlessly.. but then nothing work any more.. I didn't get much BSOD though... usually just a black screen and a whole lot of slow working till I could turn off the 3d mode of my graphic card or just reset the comp.. I send it back.. The repair service said it wasnt the graphic card fault, but the motherboard... and they are getting me a stronger power adaptor too.. from 90W to 130W...

We'll see.. it's been 14 days and I am still waiting...

Good luck to you though...

 

Hey theZoid what scores are you geting in 3dmark06? Im trying to figure out if i have the DDR2 card or DDR3. I know it has 512mb of vram and i get over 3000 on my 3dmarks06.

 

You have the ddr2.

 

Ok I figured I did. Im only geting 3000ish with the 163.75 drivers from laptop2go. Im going to try using the stock drivers to see if there is a diff. 3000 is pretty low.

 

Yes I do get the same BSOD: Driver IRQ Not Less or Equal with V1S after I install the 167 driver, I remove it and download the new Asus driver the BSOD went away.

ATI card is still not out yet.

 

You have ddr2. I was getting 3657 standard mode, standard 3dmark06 settings.
