version 3.15
old version i think...
where can i download the new driver?

 

[bevancoleman]

www.nvidia.com/drivers for latest offical drivers

www.guru3d.com for beta and utils

v3 isn't so much as old as antique. I think that is an original detonator, so it is from the days of the TNT 1.


You should also think about updating your VIA 4-in-1 drivers, The best VIA site is www.viahardware.com

Is this a driver problem?
Let me explain futher,
when i am running 3d application, it will freeze and there came a black screen with a thin green line above.
Anyone experience this before?

Please help, i beg..

Also, make sure that the voodoo drivers are completely removed! Do a search in this forum to find out the best method.

I actually did a clean format on my hdd and the problem is still there.

 

[bevancoleman]

There is a good change that it is a driver issue, patticularly if the driver is in fact a version 3.

Bersides there is no harm updating to 12.41

It's a driver problem. Get the latest driver for the geforce and get the Via 4-in-1 drivers like that was posted earlier.
