Showing posts with the label GPU

Typing @-character is delayed with Asus GPU TweakII and scandinavian keyboard layout (at least norwegian)

After I reinstalled my computer a while back, I noticed that one characters (the @-sign) had a long delay before showing up after I had hit the key on the keyboard. And I noticed it wasn't every time I had turned on my computer it was "slow". Imagine how frustrating it is to write your email address in a normal pace on the keyboard, just to find it spelled firstname1977gma@il.com instead of firstname1977@gmail.com ? Hitting ' @ 'had 0.5 to 1 second delay before it showed up on my screen, while the characters after displayed instantly. The computer in question runs english Windows 10 x64 with an NVidia GTX1070 card from Asus, and using a norwegian/scandinavian keyboard (Logitech G710+, but model isn't the problem). Throubleshooting led me to narrow the problem down to my ASUS GPU TweakII v1.4.0.8 (older version probably have the same problems).

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

I've been getting this message in the event log lately, and this happes when I play games on my computer (NVIDIA 8800 GT): Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered Lots of forumposts on the internet suggest it's a defect card, old drivers or too small PSU. My findings for my problem was that the fan on the video card actually had malfunctioned. So it was partly a defect card, but just the fan. Which can easily be replaced. Of you don't want to open up your case at first, you could try to check out the temperature of the GPU. I used HWiNFO32 . Run it in "Sensor mode" only, and you should find the temperatures at the bottom of the status list you get. Here my 8800GT was hovering around 97 degrees C while going as high as 138 degrees C while playing before it borked. New fan - problem fixed :)
