Windows 10: NVIDIA GeForce 610, upgraded version 355.98, now system crashes?!!

I too have this issue once in awhile with my 660 Ti, although besides being an annoyance it's not an issue really. It only seems to come up when I'm at idle or coming out of hibernate (I don't use sleep do to the driver crashing and not recovering correctly, forcing a reboot).

 

disable fast boot if you have UEFI BIOS, that's been an issue as well.

It doesn't affect every Fermi card for some reason, seems to be an unlucky draw for most. But both you two have cards that are Fermi 2 (second generation re-brands of Fermi 5 series equivalents (620 GT is rebranded 530 GT, 640 GT is rebranded 545 GT))

 

It is and has been disabled, makes no difference.

 

In the topic, you mention Forceware 355.98 This is not the latest version, as far as I know, so why don't you update your drivers to 358.50 (latest) to see if your problem is fixed?

 

Their is also a newer version released than that, on Nvidia's web page and I also think Brink posted a link to it too.

Geforce Hotfix driver 358.59 don't know if this would help or not.

 

Is it final version or Beta? I just checked, both European (www.nvidia.co.uk) and US (www.nvidia.com) sites give Forceware 358.50 WHQL as the latest driver for either GT 610 or GT 620. Anyway, the point is to update to latest driver and see if your problem is fixed. Forceware 355.98 is old.

 

Just click on the link I provided for 358.59 Nvidia does not say its a beta.

GeForce Hotfix driver 358.59 that's all they report on this, that I can see.

 

Never mind, I prefer using latest WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Lab) certified drivers, as long as I have no problems. Anyone else having a problem, you should also update the chipset drivers directly from Intel/AMD. The graphics controller depends on other system devices that are part of the chipset. So you should have both chipset and graphics drivers updated to eliminate all issues.

 

OldMike65 - Did what you suggested, the "rollback" but unfortunately its been happening with every release of software, very frustrating.

spapakons - You might have something there! It does only have cooling fins, no fan on it. But....

Everyone - I have since bought a new card, I gave up on this one, and it is functioning perfectly now!

I don't know if NVIDIA will allow me to return it, but I will contact them to see?! Or, maybe sell it at EBAY Auction as is?

In any case, I want to express my "Thanks" for the assistance from everyone!!
Best,
Mark
