Nvidia Problem?

[brulei]

Well after my PC kept going down I installed my fan controller, and put a spot controller fan between my two GTX 580's.

I took a picture on my phone but the flash ruined it but I managed to find a picture on the internet with the same problem.

My setup can run BF3 on ultra at around 100 FPS+

I formatted my pc and installed everything again. And As soon as I input nvidia's new drivers I started getting this BSOD.

Anybody facing the same issue?

Anyone know a solution?

Here is my setup:

When are you getting the blue screen is it when installing the drivers or when your playing a game or at some other time ?

I formatted my pc and installed everything again. And As soon as I input nvidia's new drivers I started getting this BSOD.

Have you tried using older NVidia drivers, ie not the very latest ones?

I'm getting the BSOD after the pc crashes.

Rakk where can I find the older drivers?

Also is this a common issue? As anybody experienced this with the new drivers?

Yes i know the BSOD shows after it crashes as thats what it does so i will ask again is it doing it when you are playing a certain game or any game or does it just do it when idle on the desktop or browsing the internet ?

and older drivers are found here

theres a few things to try hope these help

1. download latest NVIDIA Driver
2. Uninstall the previous version of the Driver & restart
3. once restarted install the downloaded drivers
4. Restart the system
5. Now you have to disable it from startup (type Msconfig in run Goto startup tab & uncheck NVidia option) (there are 2 options there)
6. Now start Services.msc from run command then find Nvidia Display Driver service & Stop & disable it from its properties
Restart the system
& if you followed it correct the problem wont occur again

"I have found and fixed the problem today. This is what appears to happen.
during the installation of the most current drivers 100.65 Vista, an OLD file
nvlddmkm.sys is copied into windows/system32/drivers and not the current one
in the install. As a result the new drivers are attempting to access a file
dated 11/2006 instead of 2/2007 ver 7.15.11.0065 which is in the newest WHQL
driver ver 100.65 vista 32.

Fix: Go to windows/system32/drivers and rename nvlddmkm.sys to
nvlddmkm.sys.old. Go to the nvidia directory and find the file nvlddmkm.sy_
and copy it to windows/system32. Using the cmd window (DOS box) type
EXPAND.EXE nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys. When the expansion is complete, copy
the new nvlddmkm.sys to windows/system32/drivers and restart the computer.

Your computer should now work properly.

You will notice that any uninstall and reinstall of nvidia drivers will not
remove the old nvlddmkm.sys file and will not overwrite it with the newer
version. You have to do it manually. I do not know why this happens but who
cares as long it is fixed."

these are both old suggestions but either still may work if not the nvidia site has a section in their forums on this problem.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. Unfortunately the problem has not been resolved and I will be returning the pc to PCS. Rep added to all.
