NVIDIA GeForce 210 - Version 320.49 stopped responding and has successfully


Recommended Posts

Incorrect, it does have a lot to do with the new nVidia drivers, there are many reports the new betas are more geared towards the 700 series, older cards have trouble. I had nothing but problems with my 670s so i reverted back to last released stable and its no longer a problem. This was on a fresh install, so no it wasnt some bitcoin malware.

 

Yea it seems to be the drivers and Internet explorer for me. I turned off GPU rendering and did a Windows 8 refresh (clean install but saves my personal files and Window store apps) and I still get a video card restarts when using internet explorer only. Downloaded Chrome and no problems. Ill try using the 314.22 drivers on my 560.

I have used all driver starting from 290 version to 320 one. All gave errors. Only after I removed the malware, the speed and the crashes were resolved.

 

Card -> Nvidia 540m

 

Obviously if once the meantime you installed some suspicious software or driver from douche site then this could happen, but for us, only 320.xx is giving such ridiculous errors.

Any advice?

 

For the record, 326.80 Beta is less pathetic then other 320.xx driver, and it hangs my PC less frequently and shows mouse corruption but it still hangs and sometime mouse started to get intermittent issues in scrolling and moving as well.

The reasons can be plenty. I gave the solution to my case which had nothing to do with the drivers. I have updated drivers on my Ubuntu install as well and it works well.

 

Here were the symptoms in my case

1. Firefox Crash - You are simply looking at the screen and it goes away

2. Nvidia drivers crash

3. Intermittent Mouse hang ups, scroll hang ups and then resuming automatically

4. Observed slow speed of the system

 

I scanned and removed the malware with some added practices of my own like completely emptying ~temp folder from Ubuntu install, as windows could not empty it and then removing the startup entry as well like stated earlier.

 

You can try though!

Just tried the new v327.23 drivers for my GTX460. Machine hard locked afer about 10mins playing WoW (reset button time!)

 

Went back to 314.22 and all is well again. Looks like 314.22 are gonna be the latest version to support the older GPUs.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
