Important: Drivers Questions

[CRaZYMoFo]

Ok I am in the process of troubleshooting my pc for other errors and I would like to know what versions of Nvidia NF4 chipset drivers you all are using?
ppl with the DFI mobos i need your answers please!!
I am currently on 8.22 from guru3d.com

Also opi and spoilt (and any other 7800gtx owners), what version of drivers are you all using?
I am on 83.20 from guru3d.com

Also DFI NF mobo users, which ethernet port are you all using? the nvidia + firewall or the marvell + some other firewall?

Plz answer if u can. I need the info.

I am using 6.53 (off the top of my head) Nforce drivers. When building lokes machine we got a bsod when using the then latest nforce drivers so we rolled back to a later version (6.53 or whatever I have)

Sniggies has been experiencing bsods as well, I checked thru his bios and noticed some fishy settings with his memory timings and a huge CPU voltage. I adjusted them both and his system seemed to be in order.

Did you check dfi for any information on this problem?

[opium]

drivers that i am using are the 81.xx forceware and 6.70 nforce drivers

no bsod here ever on my pc, spoilt was getting instability because of his ram

other than that we dont get bsod

about the gigabit connections, use nvidia's gigabit with their firewall, u wont get any problems there, it fixed alot of errors in 6.60

it strange to see how u guys getting errors, btw which version bios u guys using?

[CRaZYMoFo]

Well so far the only error I am currently trying to address is the irql_not_less_or_equal bsod. I disabled the nvidia ethernet and uninstalled the firewall and am currently on the marvell gbit lan
Will run source and wc3 soon to see if i get any bsods

I am on oskar wu's 704-2beta bios atm, flashed since last year and never had any probs with it.

[opium]

ok i on de same bios too

[mojo]

I'm using that BIOS as well, but the release notes did say that this BIOS has problems with low voltage memory, since the BIOS was optimized for BH5, UTT and other high voltage memory.

If you are using TCCD or other low voltage memory, I recommend the -1 for low voltage memory or the -3 for both types of memory. Drivers.....i dont even know what version i got....

[Paradoxxx]

I am using the same bios as well but of course im using the UTT version for obvious reasons. Hmm I'll update my drivers and tell you if i get a problem I never really tried the update.

[opium]

i just got some new ram for spoilt

thanks for mentioning the bios, i have to flash the bios now

[CRaZYMoFo]

i jus took the latest unofficial drivers from guru3d
no probs so far :)

more testing needs to be done though

so far 3dm06, prime 95 and most progs work fine

source is fine

wc3 to test still

[opium]

ok i just reinstalled windows, using the lastest bios and what drivers nvidia supplies, and it is running great no funny screens and bsod

but one ting though, chipped my NB while trying to upgrade the NB fan :P

and it still works, saddly the new NB fan wont fit

[CRaZYMoFo]

lawd@ chipped NB, i saw some dfi street mofos doing something with passive Cu heatsinks that dropping its temps by 10-15c (i think) but is too much trouble for a NB i think. most i go do is replace the thermal pad with AS5.

Im having no probs as well :)

NForceware 83.40 WHQL and Unified 8.22 :)

Disabled NV ethernet and running great on the marvell.

i having some serious probs with my pc nf4(6.53 drivers) and ati(6.1) gfx drivers and i cant paly no game at all i have no oc ....i cant play any game for more than 2 mins and run the system for more than 2 days. i an prime for 24 hrs i got no errors. my bios atm is My Bios (http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios_download_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3510&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&STATUS_FLAG=A&SITE=NA)

[Paradoxxx]

im a bit stumped on this one myself,
I have a strong feeling it maybe the videocard as thats the only thing that prime doesn't test.

Any other things I should keep an eye out for?

[mojo]

well, uy didn say what problem u getting... u just said that you cant run the PC :D

We need a little more info to help you. What happens that makes your pc "not runable"?

[CRaZYMoFo]

what msgs do you get when it BSODs?
What ur temps like?

[snake_eater]

my temps are good 25- 30(my room has ac) but i dont get blue screens the pc just freezes .....my bro got a blue screen once and i wasnt so i cant tell you what the error was.

[CRaZYMoFo]
