| Vista Home Premium x64 | FX4710-UB003A/NVidia 9800GT - don't like each other?! Hi! Just bought a desktop - Gateway FX4710-UB003A, with Vista HP x64, and the NVidia 9800GT video card. It has problems which is why I found this forum and joined. First thing I did with my new computer was run EZTune to install drivers etc for my also new Gateway HD2201 Widescreen. It seemed to work. But when I rebooted, the system crashed so bad that a complete system restore had to be done. The cause was something like a "faulty driver". I tried again. This time, only EZTune crashed, at least not the entire system. When I tried using NVidia Control Panel it caused another system crash. No need to restore the system though. Then I looked at the video card driver and found it was an older one (7516). I downloaded the newest one from NVidia's website and installed it (7779). That didn't help at all. I still can't run EZTune, and I still can't use the NVidia control panel. Does this mean I should return the computer and get another brand? Or am I doing something wrong? Or does someone know a work-around? I would love to fix this and keep my computer. Thanks in advance! |
