Precision M90 with Nvidia Quadro FX 1500M drivers needed!

My girlfriend's M90 is doing very weird graphically stuff, showing green boxes all over the screen. After it boots past the Windows 7 logo the screen goes black. When I boot it up in Safe Mode it allows her to log in.

I went to go to the Nvidia Control Panel to find the driver version to download it again and install it but the Nvidia Control Panel is gone so I'm guessing something happened with the driver. My issue is that I cannot find a driver for the Quadro FX 1500M for Windows 7 64-bit.

If anyone can tell me which one they have that is working or can give me a link to find one that would be appreciated. I've downloaded a few but they say that there isn't any matching hardward for the driver it was installing.

 

I've attached some pictures to show what it looks like. Displays.jpg is what we see, and Screencapture.jpg is what happens when you click printscreen.

Also doing a screen capture doesn't capture the issue so I'm not sure if that says hardware or software issue. Maybe the cable going to the monitor? Idk.

 

try this one

they are vista 64... it seems that there is no win 7 drivers at all for this card

 

You have one of the bad NVIDIA GPU's. NVIDIA will swear up and down that the 7900 series wasn't affected, but it was just like the 8400/8600m series with the solder problems.

In short, you have a hardware problem.

 

Yes that is classic Nvidia failure. You can use Vista drivers for Windows 7, the driver model is near identical.

 

I'll try that one. We thought we fixed it with another driver but every driver seem to say that it doesn't detect Vista so it never installs the drivers

 

Install that driver and now get BSOD >.<

 

Uninstalling the driver and restarting still causes the BSOD

 

So I put her old hard drive in that does have Windows Vista on it and it booted up with the graphics issue so I'm guessing that is now pointing to hardware over software :/

 

After taking it apart and putting it back together it still had the issue.

Before I took it apart, when I had her other hard drive with Vista on it, I went and looked at the driver version which was 156.69. I went and downloaded that one for both the 64bit and the 32bit. I boot it back up in safe mode then went and installed the 64bit. It never said anything about the operating system not being Vista and after it got done installing it said I had to restart but looking at the screen the issue was gone. It restarted fine and loaded Windows 7 without any BSOD.

I'm still not sure if it is hardware or if it was just software. Both times she was using Photoshop so I'm not sure if that is the issue and it is crashing the drivers.
