Angry Stay Away from 15.23_nforce_winxp32_whql.exe
The Following driver has the potential to BRICK Your system!


15.23_nforce_winxp64_international_whql.exe

After install of the Network driver the system will loose the keyboard and mouse and the screen will go black after the driver installation asks for a restart.

It did not do that to me. Which motherboard are you using? Fill in your system specs, too. Click on the User CP, then click Edit System.

Well you list two diffrent files, so apart from not knowing anything about your system we dont even know what file you used. Your post title says one file, and your post says another. One 32bit the other 64bit, so if you installed the wrong file on the wrong system maybe thats your problem..

The 15.23 drivers have caused me nothing but pain.
My mobo has the nForce4 Ultra AMD chipset.
I used them on my RAID 0 Raptors and it corrupted the array.
I also used them with a single Velociraptor as my OS HD and the system froze constantly, and chkdsk ran after alomst every reset.

I uninstalled 15.23 and installed 6.86 (except the "nVidia storage driver", which is known garbage) and have had no problems at all.

nForce Version 15.25 is out - give those a try, I haven't had any issues with them yet. I just dropped a q9400 in to my p5n-d and the updated driver - everything is fine - no BSOD's even though I've been messing with the OC settings like crazy the last 2 days. I'd say the 15.25 is stable so far. Make sure you update the geforce driver too if you have nVidia GPU v185 just come out too.

It is not wise to make a statement like this. These are WHQL certified drivers. If you have a problem with them, make a thread to help you out. Please do not recommend to the forum not to use them. Sounds like your problem is a user problem, not a driver problem.
