9600gt driver issue - Overclock.net

tOb3o · 02-12-09

I bought the 9600gt the other day and its arrived today.
I set it up in my older rig:
amd 4200 x2
focxonn c51xem2aa
2gb gold ocz ram
hard drives
hyper 580 psu
7600gt x 2

I uninstalled the 7600 drivers and ran various reg cleaners etc
switched it off, plugged in the 9600 and hey-presto it boots.
I now install the drivers (181.22 from nvid site) and it screws up on boot up,
everything installs fine its the boot after the restart that fails. I loads bios, windows startup but when the drivers are loaded it cops out and i'm given the "No signal" on my screen. I boot in safe mode, remove all nvidia drivers and boot to normal...fine. I now install drivers off the cd, this works and it boots after the restart but, everytime I try and changed my resolution to my screens native (1680 x 1050) and it cops out, also the screen looks very sharp/crisp and I can't seem to change that. I've jsut tried the drivers from xfx's site to no avail. Are there any more options to try or any solutions beside a total format as it would be like thte 10th time this month i'd have to do so (don't ask *face palm*)

I just been able to get my native resolution by installing the xp drivers for this card without the nvida drivers...does that make sense? but anyway, where do I go from here? try and install the nvidia drivers ontop of this?

I've now tried new nvid drivers and reinstalled vista. This is now my main rig the other is on its way out...so I kind of need this working

Try other drivers for example the new ones:

tried that same happening...this is also a fresh install of vista 64 bit ultimate version.

Just been scrolling through the boot log and theres a shat load it doesn't boot and lots of mentions of my graphics card in there. So I know it's a driver issue...I did the whole time...but why is this an issue?

Just an example:

(stuff above this says its loaded)

Did you update your Vista? Did you clean your drivers this way?

Quote:

Easiest method below.
D/L Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper and install it.
1) R/Click My Computer
2) Select Manage> Device Manager
3) Expand Display Adapter> R/Click NVIDIA GeForce xxxx/ATI Radeon xxxx
4) Select Uninstall> Confirm Device Removal> OK
5) Restart Computer
6) Enter Safe Mode..Tap F8 during Post
7) Once in Safe Mode> Run Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper > Select nVidia (not nForceChipset/For ATI select ATI, ATI CCC, ATI WMD)> start Cleaning
8) Do step 7 Twice with Driver Cleaner Pro - With Driver Sweeper do it once.
9) Restart Computer> Cancel out of New Found Hardware Wizard
10) Navigate to the Location of your Drivers and Install.

Obviously you have a hardware problem, but you just added your newer card in it after uninstalling your old 7600GT?

Look at this thread:

Did you try using driver sweeper?

tOb3o · 03-01-09

Yeh sorry I should've updated op. I've scrapped the old pc, this is now with hardware in my sig. I've cleaned the drivers, Updating vista atm. I will get back to you when I've updated vista and installed drivers

kurosu · 03-01-09

Ok, cuz mine had that problem, but after I used driver sweeper a couple of times, it went away! And that was with a 9600gt too. Oh yeah, my 9800gt's had some driver problems too, but after uninstalling and cleaning many times, and switching the cards around, they magically worked.

If it doesn't work on a fresh install of Vista, then I wouldn't think it was the drivers. Iunno?

tOb3o · 03-01-09

ok i've sat here for a good 3 hours installing updates etc...it restarted now it's telling me i've got to do it all over again
