Commander_Undies 618 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Keep it on, it'll go into sleep mode automatically unless you're downloading. At least until you get a monitor. When it goes into sleep mode sometimes I can't get the picture to show back up on my TV so I have to shut down and restart. So I turned automatic sleep mode off.

Diddums 4,305 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ok, we're going to have to use Nvidia drivers nau. Click here. That should tell you exactly what you need, so download that and try running games off it for a while. Reboot, see if it's fixxored. It *should* solve your issues. Let me know.

What is this for, the TV not showing up or the fact that it went back to the way it was after I shut it down? What drivers were we using? I'll be on my computer tonight sometime.

Diddums 4,305 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 It's for both. The drivers we were using are the default Windows ones, these are the ones dedicated to your graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberninja2601 1,103 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Windows will auto update the defaults which could be why he gets screwed everytime he does a restart. He needs the proper video card driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so you want me to uninstall the drivers again and then instead of restarting you want me to go download the drivers myself and then restart?

Diddums 4,305 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 No, just run the thing I linked to above, Windows will sort it out. Once it's installed, reboot, and try again. To be sure, play for an hour or so, reboot again and see if it's still cool. If not, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddums 4,305 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Open Control Panel - System - click Advanced System settings - hardware tab - Device Installation settings and change it to no. Uninstall all your old graphics drivers from control panel > device manager. (should be under display adapters) Might want to uninstall Catalyst etc too Restart PC, you might want to even unplug your internet to prevent windows updating it although I believe that's what "Device Installation settings" is supposed to stop. Reinstall the Nvidia driver you downloaded, report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Undies 618 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ok if I have questions I'll text you. Thanks! I'll probably check it when I take a break from GTA V tonight. Sent from my DROID4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Undies 618 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So I've been distracted by GTA V, not gonna lie. So i'm doing the drivers thing right now. I disabled the automatic driver update thingy. Had no idea what you meant about catalyst so I didn't do anything about that. So I disabled the updates, then uninstalled the driver you told me to. Restarted. My computer automatically updated. Uninstalled again. Unplugged my wifi this time. Restarted. Currently downloading the Nvidia drivers. The only thing I'm iffy about is that I'm afraid it's just gonna update to whenever it wants. Even though I changed the settings like suggested.
