NVIDIA / GeForce vs Pale Moon

Unread post by RedRamGT » 2018-03-21, 02:01

If anyone is having problems on Windows with a GeForce graphic driver crashing while using Pale Moon, they released driver version 391.24 - which is supposed to correct the problem. I've been running 391.24, and so far no problems - knock on wood.

I've had no issues on my GTX 970. I don't recall what driver version I'm using, though.

In this windows hard drive, I'm using 32 bit windows Pale Moon 27.8.1 and it is not having any crashing problems with my ancient Nvidia GeForce GT 220 graphics card which is probably using an old 340 graphics driver. Any newer driver than this will not install in this 2010 year model HPE-170 tower computer.

I should have mentioned I'm using a GeForce GT-710 Graphic Card, and was experiencing driver crashes. This is a documented problem with GeForce (do a Google search on "GeForce TDR" (TDR = Timeout Detection and Recovery). The program directory for 391.24 lists this problem as being fixed. I posted this in case anyone else was having this problem...

I had an 8350 from 2014 to 2016... Didn't seem bad! I had that with an Asus Sabertooth 990 FX R 2.0 motherboard...

The motherboard you have or had, can cause trouble... :( (better at the least, have a fan on the power output circuit components next to the CPU) But, I had G.Skill 16 GB of DDR 3 SDRAM as well, my buddy gave that kit to me and it came on December 26, 2015.
(IIRC)

My machine has 7 fans. It's been running fine since 2013, no trouble with anything (so far).

That reminds me that I got some more fans recently... And FM2+ appears to have hot VRM/power stage components! Unless the temp sensors are wrong by many degrees in Celsius! (FM2+ for my Athlon X2 Richland and Athlon X4 Kaveri 860)
