    hello,

    i recently installed windows 7 and i notice an annoying stuttering. every second the image freezes for a moment. sometimes the graphics drivers crash completely.

    i use windows on a clevo (nexoc) e705 III and i have now tried many different drivers (currently 188.43, also 195.50 and others) on my 8800m gtx. I use windows build 7600.

    Is there a way to make stuttering vanish?

    thanks in advance

    Screen stuttering in general or when you are in certain apps? Flash updated?

    The crashing part does not sound good. Try clean out the graphic driver and let Windows 7 decide on a compatible one for you?

    cheers ...

    it stutters when moving windows/closing/opening them and in games (everywhere). I did reinstall windows 7 completely. at the moment I am using the DOX 185.55 drivers quite successfully but still with a bit of stutter. I also updated the graphics card`s bios to the newest one I found (62.92.23.00.04) but that led to no improvement...
    I never had similar problems when running XP.

    1- Ensure that your latest motherboard drivers are installed from the hardware manuafcture site.

    2- Ensure that your latest sound card driver are installed from the hardware manufacture website (or system manufacture)

    3- Uninstall your DOX drivers, restart your computer, and install Nvidia's official drivers for your graphic card. Now see if it helps.

    4- Something you can try, is to modify Nvidia PowerMizer behavior. I like many had similar problems (but not drastic performance decrese in games, like in your case). I was annoyed that their was no Vista/Win7 ready hacks, or tools which didn't do anything or gave me a BSOD at the end. As a programmer, I decided to make a free tool which allows you to do that (among additional features) which supports all Nvidia architectures (I have a lot of Nvidia GPU's), laptop and desktop alike, from Windows 2000 all the way up to Win7 64-bit. My tool: Nv GPU Pro.
    Note: Despite not showing screen shots of it, it fully supports Windows 7. I'll update everything in coming days.

    thanks a lot! the bios update did the job. :)
    I formerly had 1.00.07, now 1.00.12 and that solved the issue.
