NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE video card has taken over

I did a download for this card and when the restart was done the computer screen was zoomed in to where I couldn't get the display adapter pop-up window high enough to roll back the driver. Went into safe mode and did it there. Didn't work. Went into safe mode and uninstalled the drivers. They came back on restart. The only way I can use the computer is with the video card disabled. Can anybody help me with this?

    Yes I have. Makes no difference unless it's done in safe mode. Then it doen't transfer to normal mode.

  • Stewart Nigh Dec 31, 2009

    I downloaded it from Windows update notifications, I think.

    Have you attempted to download the latest drivers for your video card from NVIDIA? I understand you've already updated your drivers, yet I wanted to make sure that you downloaded them from NVIDIA, the maker of your chipset, not a 3rd party.

    Have you attempted to change the resolution of the display adapter?

Okay, I think wiping all your NVIDIA drivers then installing the new set will resolve your issue. Okay, first we'll download the drivers you need, then we'll wipe all your NVIDIA drivers.

Here's how you find your drivers from NVIDIA.

1. Go to www.nvidia.com.
2. Next I select my country (North America > USA).
3. Next I click on Download Drivers (at the top).
(The following takes place under "Option 1")
4. Select Product Type: GeForce, Product Series: GeForce 6 Series (You have a 6150, thus a 6xxx series), Operating System: (I use Windows XP, just select what you are currently using), Language: (Once again, the language you want to use).
5. Click SEARCH
6. Afterward click the large DOWNLOAD button.

Once the drivers finish downloading we'll wipe all existing NVIDIA drivers from your system via Driver Cleaner Pro.

NOTE: You do not need to uninstall any drivers via Add/Remove Programsor the Device Manager! Driver Cleaner Pro removes all of them for you.

Once downloaded and installed, launch Driver Cleaner Pro. Afterward select "nVidia" underneath "Cleaning Selection." Now press Start. Once cleaning is finished, restart your computer. Once the system finishes restarting, install the drivers you just downloaded from NVIDIA.

This should resolve your driver issues. If not, post back and we'll continue debugging the situation. Let us know how things turn out.

Check the monitor settings, then check the operating system settings e.g. windows if ok

got the the monitor drivers in the Control Panel and check that it was installed properly if yes, you can stall update the drivers to make sure.

Computer crashes and vista says it is NVIDA Geforce

If I were you I'd wait for the next driver update. ALso, you could try sending Nvidia a complaint about this, so they know they've got to fix it.

I hope this helps,

Driver

Even though it is a Nvidia GeForce card, you want to use the HP drivers. Laptop video cards are set up a little different then desktop video cards.
Here's the link to that drive page.

Will Princeton monitor VL1918 support NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE

Hi Alvie
I Just checked the specs on both the card and the monitor. It should work no problem. If for some reason you notice some lag or flicker in the monitor, go to this page and download the updated ForceWare graphics drivers.
