skenzer Posted June 30, 2006 My god..I just installed the latest Forceware driver from nVidia, version 91.31 on my Windows XP 64-bit system. Needless to say, just before getting to the "welcome" screen....BOOOOOOM. serious BSOD and a hard crash of my system. Instant reboot. Going back to the previous driver fixes the problem so my immediate needs are ok. Anybody else having this problem with this new driver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmniStrata Posted June 30, 2006 If the driver's not broke, don't fix it... From what I've experienced regarding 'updates'. I feel it's a half-truth that you'll get a performance 'boost' when you always always update driver software. I think there's about a 30% or so chance that your update will have bugs that will kill your hardware performance wise on occasion so just take the easy way out: Don't update what's not needing updating...

skenzer Posted June 30, 2006 My bad....I see plenty of previous posts regarding this POS drivers....guess i'll wait for another rev to come out because these drivers aren't worth a damn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPDMF Posted June 30, 2006 First time I tried the 91.31 XP64 drivers and opened the new control panel it maxed a 3 gig pagefile and locked up my system. I reformatted recently and accidently installed them again and all is well for some reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mookytc Posted June 30, 2006 I notice everyone that posted has dual core cpu's. I have not had a problem with the new drivers. In fact it has helped my sli configuration. Hope you get things worked out. DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
centy Posted June 30, 2006 Not having any problems myself, although I'm on XP Pro 32bit. There is actually a new official beta driver on nvidia nzone 91.33. You might have better luck with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mookytc Posted June 30, 2006 Likewise I am running 32 bit xp home. DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyvie Posted June 30, 2006 You guys are aware that the 91.33 drivers are out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skenzer Posted June 30, 2006 the 91.33 drivers are not for 64-bit XP though....as far as I'm aware. And that's what I'm running. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
