XPS 1730 Display driver

i got an error saying ' Display driver has stoppedd working and has recovered ' anyone know of any solutions to this ? there alot of post about it on other forums but they dont say anything, though maybe someone here might know, i know it has something to do with the new driver i installed im on 8700m GT SLI btw. So should i just roll back to the previous driver?

 

If it just started happening after you installed the new driver, my bet is that.

Try rolling back to your older drivers and see if that fixes it.
What driver are you using, by the way?

 

If you are overclocking the GPU, then that may be the reason. If not, it could be heat. I had that problem when I went past my Superclocks. Usually a higher core will be the first one to crack.

 

Nope no overclocking everything is stock...

Really annoying, it always happens when your going 1 on 1 with an enemy on game

Using driver 175.32

 

Change the driver. Some of them have issues with the system.
Try the 177.92 version or the 180.42 one.
They do wonders...

 

What, so install like the drivers of like an 8800m GTX on 8700m GT SLI ?

Because 175.32 is the latest for the 8700.

 

Bump......

 

Acutally there is an official driver from Nvidia for the mobile chips. I just downloaded it. You can find it when you go to the nvidia page and then find the physx section. In this section you can find an official driver from nvidia which works for me fine.
The driver iam using is 178.08 from nvidia (no laptopvideo2go). Maybe youre lucky there.

 

Yes go to the nvidia site and look for the archived drivers listed below. Try one of the newer ones. I have had this happen all the time not only with laptop but also my desktop computer.

 

Cant find none, and Archieved or BETA drivers dont show up, Only 175.32 is available for the whole nVidia GeForce 8m series. Im on UK site btw also looked on US.

 

actually thats the new driver from Nvidia. I still use the 178.08 but I think the new one works as well.
The only thing is that I cant find the 8700m GT in the list which is really strange because every other video card is on that list.
On the other hand the first point on the list is :

Release 178 Highlights:

* WHQL-certified driver for GeForce 6-series, 7-series, 8-series, 9-series, and 200-series GPUs.

And I definitely know that I used the same driver (just one version older but its the same series) and the installer worked even when Nvidia says nothing about support of mobile chips.
I think its a kind of a backdoor you can use because this driver here includes the physx software and to run the software you need the driver which nvidia has to provide otherwise no one could use the physx
As iam not allowed to post html addresses because I still dont have my 15 points here I cant give you the full address. Just put a w w w. before the nvidia.

nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_178.24_whql.html
(Vista 32bit version)
If it doesnt work just go to the nvidia homepage,select driver, Geforce Series 8, Operating System and you will get the same.

If absolutly nothing works try it with laptopvideo2go.com and look if you can find a modified driver. Reply if something happens

 

Hmm i used...

For the Drivers and downloaded the 178.08 and it works great.

Couldn't install 178.24 from nvidia link, it said it could not find hardware or something like that.

Thanks For the help

 

Tiaqo , the drivers are for all video cards, not just 8800M GTXs.
So yes, 180.42 are among the best I`ve tested yet.
