Hi – newbies first post on this forum. Hope someone can help 😉
I have… NC10-14G, Windows 7 Ultimate, 2GB Ram from Crucial. Has been running find since June 2009 until now.
I recently updated my Intel Win7 Graphics Driver to Ver 8.15.10.2176 and since then I get the Blue Screen every few hours (Hardware Malfunction. NMI: Parity check/memory parity error). I’ve read through previous posts on this forum about this problem and have followed the advice….. cleaned the RAm of dust; I also called Crucial about the Ram and they suggested I run the “Windows memory diagnostics tool”… I did, and no problems there.
So now I’m trying to roll back the Graphics Driver to the previous version or uninstall and then reinstall a previous version of the driver… and this is where I’m stuck… I can’t find the driver in Device Manager to roll it back or uninstall it. I’ve tried googling on how to do this but can’t find any info.
Also, is it best to roll back the driver or to uninstall it and reinstall the new driver?
I’ve downloaded a previous version of the Graphics Driver from the Samsung website Ver 8.14.10.2108, so I’m ready to go…. just need some advice on how to best go about this….
Thanks!
on my N220 W7(starter) its:
menu button – control panel – device manager – display adapter – right-click Intel GMA – properties – Driver tab. 3rd button down is ‘roll back the driver’If its gray then you need to be admin or at the ‘properties’ stage above, click change settings (on the general tab) and enter your admin password. If after that its still gray then I think it means there isn’t a driver to roll-back to.
You then have to consider a restore point to a date before the faulty driver was installed (but you may lose other stuff if its a while back), or try to locate a working driver and install it. I’m using 8.14.10.2108 on mine as well.
You may find a driver(s) somewhere on this site (get the correct page for your model) – http://www.samsung.com/download/Model_Select.aspx?type=Computer&typecode=11&subtype=Notebook&subtypecode=1102&model=NP-NC10&filetype=SW&language=
Hope thats the info you were after.
I did the same thing. I ended up just uninstalling the driver and after the required reboot Win7 found an older version drivers. Win 7 installed it and I have had no more blue screens so far. Win7 found an older version than 8.14.10.2108, don’t remember off the top of my head right now but let me know if anybody needs to know. Doesn’t anyone have a good link to download that version though(8.14.10.2108)?
