I got an Acer Aspire 8930G with the graphic card Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT. Until now I'm using the nvidia 340.xx driver patch ( -not-true-then-false.com/2020/inttf-nvidia-patcher/). Because I get some issues with videoplayback, I want to switch to the nouveau driver. With nouveau I get flickering screen. It's like the screen change it's position in a fast manner. What could be the cause of that?
Several years ago I bought an Alienware m9700/9750 which was a great machine (still is).
Now my gpu went bad. It was a nVidia 7950 GTX. I bought a new one from ebay (nVidia 9700m GT).
Problem is that I have a 30 second beep screen (MXM structure not found or invalid...). After that OS boots up and works OK but with low performance. After restart I have no screen and have to wait for a while to get the 30s screen delay back. I tried to install the driver but windows don't recognize the card. In gpu-z clock is on 0, memory on 0. Default clock @ 575, memory 800, shader 1450.
Please please please help me out. The beep is really getting on my nerves. I know there are people here who done this before. I am an idiot for buying an broken laptop. Also an idiot for buiyng a new card that needs a custom bios. Now I've lost a lot of money and still have a laptop that I can't use in full potencial.
One more thing. Is it normal that I can't install the graphics driver? I've downloaded the driver from nVidia site. I used "Auto-detect your GPU" and found the same driver that I've already downloaded.
I've tried dozen of inf moded drivers and always come up with the same massage... Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software... NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT... The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows...
Have you ever encountered with a power up-black screen problem? When I boot up my laptop for the first time everything works ok. If I have to restart or shutdown/power-up laptop boots with black screen. I hear the Windows welcome screen sound but no picture. If I wait for 15-30 minutes it boots up normally again.
I got the dell xps 17 and it worked for a couple months. then whenever i would game for a couple hours i would get a direct x or different error message and the game would crash. Every time i tried to reopen it, it would give an error and shut down. A couple times it would log back on but i would get under 10 frames per second which was unplayable and would notice the nvidia graphics card was gone and it was using the intel one. I would check display adapter under device manager and see the nvidia graphics card was gone. I could not instal any nvidia graphics drivers because it said i had no nvidia graphics card.
Letting it cool down for 5-6 hours did not fix it usually, but would take a good 12-15 hours before i could game again. It would work for a little bit but then happen again. Sometimes it would happen quick, sometimes it would be exactly when i would change my external monitor usb-c input or my battery charger input.
I had the computer sent back to dell for repair, they said they fixed it and also fixed my battery drain issue. I got back my computer and it worked great for 2 weeks, now it is happening again. same issue. reinstalling games and even windows.does not help. Another game I play will open but be unplayable since its using the slow intel graphics card.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyway to fix it? Why does it come and go? I assume people will say overheating but that doesnt make sense to me since the computer should be cool after a couple hours (and its not a hot laptop anyway with lots of fans and a large vent).
The motherboard was replaced and everything worked great for a month. Now the issue is happening again, no graphics card detected and cannot game. It happened when i took my computer to a friends and used it on a flat desk instead of up on my stand where fans could get air easier. So is this issue starting because something is overheating?
Unfortunately, this is NOT a permanent fix. It only resolves the issue for a few hours, and than the problem reoccurs. I personally have a Dell XPS 17 9700 with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile, instead of a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile Max-Q. I have had this problem happen up to 5 times in a single day. A while ago, when this problem first started happening, I contacted a Dell tech support rep, and they gave the same steps shown here. Again, these steps are only a temporary fix. You have to apply them over and over and over every time it happens. This is CLEARLY a SOFTWARE issue, and replacing the motherboard doesn't do much, as mentioned by another user. It is outrageous that Dell cannot fix an issue that plagues their expensive, premium line of laptops, as these cost upwards of $1399.
The solution for this did not work for me. I was in the middle of a Minecraft session when it crashed and dumped to an error message. Just like everyone else with this issue, the device only shows up with hidden devices turned on. I checked in the bios and under dGPU nothing was listed. Then yesterday Windows bluescreened, and the diagnostics popped up asking to run a full memory scan. I completed it with no errors, lo and behold! my GPU is back.
Hey, Dell - your proposed solution suсks because it doesn't permanently solve the problem. Could you address the root cause instead of offering a workaround that cripples the usage of the laptop? Thanks.
Is there any tutorial on how to install the nvidia drive to the recalbox? For the new driver is very poor in performance with my GTX 650 making the Gamecube crashing constantly, could not tell me what is a linocabo platform from batocera, so you can find a way to install the drive from nvidia.
i've done an nvidia version.
however, i don't think i've the correct hardware,
and i think it requires an xorg.conf to be added.
But all the rest is installed.
to be tested and probably configured by somebody having the hardware to test the correct configuration
nadenislamarre Hello, I have tried adding the nvidia driver lines to xorg.conf, 10eudev, but when I want to save the changes it tells me that it is read only.
I'm sorry, I do not have enough knowledge.
A greeting and thanks for the progress.
more easye to configure and not so mutch lost time like batocera .. alot of bugs and alot of loose time configuring something instabill . that is batocera . it only takes your time just for configure .. if u get the 1st problem thann start alot of another problems .. realy i will giv up .. realy alot of lost time for nothing ..
I've tried to install another graphic driver but "glibc" is needed, so I've tried to install it but "make" is nedded, I've tried to install "make" but it don't work... Is there a "build-essential" package that we can install?
