gForce FX 5700 Ultra and driver issues
Friday, January 9, 2004 by IPlural | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Something I just found out after installing this card into a Gigabyte GA-8SG800 based system running AGP 8x is that it boots to damn fast to hit F8.. 
Anyway, I unplugged the power cable from the vid-card and it actually kicked off from the overclocked speeds so I could actually watch and see what was taking place.
nvtunexp.sys was causing it to constantly rebooting after loading up windowsXP in a user account, or if I just sat and watched it would do it from the logon.
The s-video driver seems to have some issue with it and I have not seen anything yet on the net for a work around *yet is key here*...
It really isn't an issue because I am not going to be making use of it for a bit anyway and if someone is not going to make use of it at all the card drops around $50.00 in price.
-----------
anyway, if anyone is having problems with this card or the 8x gForces and can not seem to nail it down, try un-plugging the secondary power cable and it should blue screen on yo so you can see which driver is causing he glitch...

Full set of display drivers... should have been selective
though I think it was part of the VIVO editing software and codec pack
ohhh and it's sweet too, fasssssssst dual 400 mhz ramdacs

John...that shouldn't be in any driver ware and I wouldn't think someone would put it in their 'VIVO Edit ware'. It's not a codec. To tell you the truth, the file is usually used as a hacked module for an overclock.....you tell me ...you're looking at it

no I ain't, working on booting erd so I can go cut the sucker out of the registry
dunno, will look though once it is actually going...
as far as a hack goes, eh, eVGA and all the rest who sell over-clocked cards do it though a tweak or hack.
hell at 8x with the dual ramdacs it is more than enough for doing graphics, I don't even play games
though it did come with a couple... mmm, the USArmy version 2. something or another, and Photosuite, WindowBlinds ( best one on all the cd's ) and a couple of 3d games or some sch...

oh BTW, dinna say it was ah codec, just that the last thing it ran through and loaded when I told it to install everything instead of selecting was the VIVO editing software and TV-Tuner (S-Video) componants...
I will get to know what it is though, becase it has to be something common to the FX or atleast the 5700

Yeah...you're right about the hack...all the card makers are getting into the act...they very well could have refined the file in question to crank the speed. Can't blame them for that. It just makes it another system file (am curious about the boot problem) It is a sweet card tho.....

me too, I thought about throwing it into my Asus box to see if it goes wacky or not...
but...
it's a good thing to figure out and remember in case it comes up again for sure

there has got to be a fix...
man I love ERD, need to update to 2004... Heck Locksmith alone has paid for the whole thing a number of times already.... But if you get something that screws a NT box, pop the ERD in and edit away at the registry and what have you so you can get the sucker booting...

oh I knew it was a system file (driver) of some sort, not right now. I'll be doing some video editing down the road and worry about it then, well watch for a fix at least before then...

Did you un-install all the graphics drivers before you put this in?

I only ask 'cause you might be able to rid yourself of the boot problem by using the nVidia FX drivers 53.03 and their WDM drivers....

I'll do that, need to clean the whole set out and default to the nasty ms vga to do it.
My wife is going to throw a fit, I swapped out the 350 for an Antec true 430 power supply while I had it pulled apart
Customer can wait,this is important!

YEAH... dinked it
full change of drivers is all it took, well that a changing to a 430w power supply because the 350w dinna seem to like the drain..

Glad it worked...the OEM drivers can be a little touchy at times and with the wattage these new processors and graphic cards suck up, you're pushing the limit at anything below 400w.....am happy for ya...that is a sweet card!!
...now if you can only explain the new PSU to your better half

Just to retouch on this, I own the same graphics card. For a little while after it was installed, when logging on to a user on XP the system crashed. I mean, blue screen and all. But now, it's been fine and working perfectly. If it's not broke...
