HP A6403W 32bit To 64bit Issues-Need Insight
I recently installed 2 GB more memory and did a zero fill, clean install Windows 10 Home 64bit. 1709 version would not let me install the Nvidia 7100/630i 64bit driver, which I preset the download to run in Windows 8 mode. That is how I had it when at 32bit (Windows 8 mode no issues). I then clean installed 1703 version and did same procedure and the onboard Nvidia 7100/630i 64bit driver installed ok. After a few uses I got a BSOD with nvlddmkm.sys error, disabled the nvidia item in services and it is stable at this point.
I ordered (not here yet) a Nvidia MSI Geforce GT 710 2GD3 LP hoping this will help stability and it has Windows 10 drivers. The Nvidia 7100/630i is onboard and bios states it is in PCI not onboard. It is working fine and has obviously been in that mode as a default. I decided to change it to onboard and the results have created a new error BSOD PFN List Corrupt. I reset bios and re imaged the computer and back to stable.
What do I have to do when installing the new card? I know how to do it etc. The new card will go into the PCI E x16 slot. The bios has a setting for this slot for graphics also. Choice of 3 PCI, Onboard, PCI E x16. Default is PCI. Also to note I did two different memory tests and they turn up good. Any help I would appreciate it. This is my old PC from 2008 and would like to keep it awhile yet. TIA adam
