Graphics Card Issue 9600M GT

hi guys

I have a dell xps a2420

and since I moved to windows 7 this week im getting nothing but a black screen and a kernel error saying my driver has stopped working but has been recovered

any help on this ??


as If I run windows vista ultimate on the same machine I don't get none of them errors and I can use the latest graphics driver


currently running 320.78

but have to turn aero off to stop it black screening


thanks

 

did you do a graphics driver registry cleanup after changing operating systems as old nvidia crap likes to hang around in the registry.
only way to really do this is a manual safe mode clean. walkthrough in sig below.

also where did you get the 320.78 from as its not a normal nvidia release. was it a modified inf driver or a OEM release?

heres a list of the latest 20 releases NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search

 

Hardware failure. Your GPU is dying.

 

My 9600 in my HDX works fine. Smooth transition from Vista to W7. Circa 2008

 

your lucky as my 9800GT only lasted 2 years. got upgrade to 260gtx under warranty so i cant really complain

 

hi MrDJ


as i did a full format not an upgrade from vista there shouldnt have been anything left over from vista


i cant remember where i got the drivers from 320.78 i think they was modded ones

anyway ive tried the latest ones and it results in more black screen's and a driver stop error


anyway ive reformated again and gone back to vista for now till i can figure this one out as it runs perfectly under vista 32 bit


just not windows 7 64bit i dont have a 32 bit iso to try that

 

hi octiceps

if it was a GPU problem wouldnt i see the issue under vista ??


plus i can play anything with no issues at all even bluray movies

 

one more thing guys

as its an all in one should the capactiors be getting hot ??


as a load of them around the GPU area are getting very hot to the touch

 

Can you run 3D games and benchmarks without issue?

 

yeah i can run games and benchmarks with no issues at all
