Re: Vista 64 Geforce 260 driver problem

Check that the card is seated properly and you have the 4-pin connector connected to the card.

Also, *which driver did you install? I have one of those SLI'd with a stock 260 (and am using eVGA's Precision utility to OC both to 636 MHz / 1107 MHz / 65% rpms) and have not had a single problem with any of the drivers, neither the 'current' 180.48 nor the Beta 180.84 and 181.00

Re: Vista 64 Geforce 260 driver problem

Well first I went to the website and installed the 180.48 and when it gets to the login screen it just goes blank so i installed windows again because i have no idea how to get by that so i tried the cd that came with it i think its 174 or something but yeah i had to re install vista and this is my second time doing this and i have not had this problem before and to the other answer yes the two 8 pin conectors are plugged in I have 2 other ones that came with my psu should i try those?
Thanks for the support on the holiday

Re: Vista 64 Geforce 260 driver problem

where are the 8 pin connectors coming from? although I doubt that power here is an issue as if the card were underpowered you'd get a nice big fat message on the screen complaining about power as soon as the system were powered on....

Right now, are you on a brand new Vista installation with no drivers installed?

Re: Vista 64 Geforce 260 driver problem

The motherboard drivers are from the cd the chipset is 4.6.4.0 the audio driver is 6.0.1.5618 the hdmi driver is 1.00.00.23
Right now on the video settings it says generic-non-pnp on standard vga graphics adapter and i am using my 260 connected by a dvi cable
I have no real video driver on here i guess
thanks

Re: Vista 64 Geforce 260 driver problem

I asked about the driver version for the GTX260. The one that you tried - the one that failed.
