Hello everyone
I recently installed windows 7 ultimate and i have some serious issues with it.
at first when i installed it, and it booted for the first time into windows i got the BSOD everytime, only way i got passed it was to boot up with driver certification disabled. i was finally able to boot into windows 7.
First thing i noticed was that everything responded very slow, if i clicked the start button it took up to 5 seconds for it to respond. still everything acts very slow.
so after a while i got the error "display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver 195.39 stopped responding and has recovered succesfully"
so my screen starts to flicker black, and i get the BSOD once in a while.
I can't run the performance test because my system freezes up.
i tried upgrading/downgrading nvidia drivers, installed direct x disable aero and so on
ive done alot of research on the web but i can't find any solutions to it.
memory is also ok no problems with it

My system :

gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6 F3 motherboard
amd dual core 6000+
4gb ram
geforce 9800x2
hdd 320gb

thanks in advance

Important: What kind of power supply do you have?

The geforce 9800x2 is not a good card. The dual cpus also face each other and even use the same heatsink and overheating can cause you to have problems. It also requires a quality massive power supply (over 650 Watts). My ENERMAX PRO82+ performs great with 4 hard drives and a GTX 280, even though its only 525 Watts. It's quality vs power advertised, I guess. New Egg has some really good deals on the GTX series: http://www.newegg.co...ue&Order=RATING

Might be cheaper to get a different video card, but have a look at http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817139009 and http://www.newegg.co...ue&Order=RATING for a relatively inexpensive PSU.

The 195.39 driver is also in Beta and has been causing all kinds of crap to go wrong. Use Nvidias 191.07 driver, not the drivers provide by Windows Update. For 64bit Windows 7 http://www.nvidia.co...91.07_whql.html and for 32bit http://www.nvidia.co...91.07_whql.html

Hope this help. Worse come to worse tone down your hardware acceleration until you get a new card.

hey!
thank you for your reply.
i owe a coolermaster 1000watts, should be sufficient to  power the 9800 gx2.
I tried several nvidia drivers including 191.07
i have the same problems with all the drivers i tried, lag and bsod.

Sorry, been in a coma all day. As I said before, the geforce 9800 is a problem card and has been widely condemned by a lot of people in tech forums. How did it work before installing Windows 7? And I do recommend that you replace it with the GTX 260 or up series. Couldn't find the 280 on New Egg, but it used to cost a LOT. The 260's are in the $110 range. I'm running a 280 and it never overheats.

I know this is an old thread but I am having the same issue with a GeForce GTX 460. It works great using Nvidia driver 275.33 but with the 28x.XX drivers I get the kernel timeout warning. I cannot even search the web. I believe that this has to be a Driver issue. I guess I will satay with 275.33 as I don't know what else to do.

Almost every driver nvidia releases thats the "Latest" i see are always asking for trouble. my two cents on nvidia, if it works, dont upgrade the driver until its bugs are worked out.


*and they thought ATI was bad...*
