I built a new system using a GV-N98tsl-1g1 graphics card. The drivers have
installed and updated, but I cannot install the software on the CD. It
starts, loads the splash screen, then locks up. I am using Windows 7, 64
bit. Any suggestions? Gigabyte tech support has not responded to my email
in three days. Anyone have a phone number for tech support in the U.S.?


I hope you were able to fix the problem you were having and that you are
having
good luck with the card now. I was thinking about buying one of these.
Seems
like I may have read this was a "long" card (true?). What sort of case did
you go with?

Thanks,
Bill



I have not installed the software, and I am using the drivers installed
by Windows 7, but it seems to be working fine at the moment. I
installed Windows 7 64 bit initially, but I switched back to the 32 bit
version to see if I would have fewer problems.

I installed the updated Nvidia drivers through the Windows update, I
think it was a 9/27/09 driver, and I THINK that's when things fell
apart. I got an "error in nvcpl.dll missing entry
NvStartupRunonFirstSessionUserAccount, and the colors went crazy. I
fixed that, then it started refusing to wake up after standby or
hibernation. I set Windows to never go to standby or hibernate, but it
still did it anyway. I had to reboot most of the time to get it to work.

I installed the 32 bit version of Windows 7 last night, and this morning
it seems to be working.

I have it installed in the first version of the Antec Sonata case with a
650 watt power supply. It is a long card, but there is still about an
inch of space between the card and the drive cage.
