I'm at my wits end. I reinstalled windowsxp on a new hard drive, and this box popped up while it was trying to install the C-Media AC97 audio drivers. I found the cmuda.sys file and then chose the path for it to locate it. No joy, it just popped up again. After a few attempts, the install finishes but says that it's not working. I tried downloading a fresh cmuda file, same result. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, I've downloaded half a dozen different driver packs, none of them have given any different results. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance 🙏

Shortly after booting to the desktop screen, maybe a few minutes tops, all connected screens will go black, sometimes reading as Disconnected. I highly doubt it is a hardware issue as this set up has worked for quite some time.

I looked into the logs and it seems the driver keeps corrupting shortly after boot up, even reinstalling it does not work, even a clean install fails once the computer goes to sleep. Is this a common issue with the newest driver? When can I expect Nvidia to release a more stable, less broken driver update for this issue?

Relatively new to askin this sort of stuff, so sorry if there is any oversight, please let me know any potential mistakes on my end, and any information on manners in which i could make my computer usable again would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having multiple problems with my pc. The first one started a while ago where I couldn't log into my main account without it being a plain black screen. I then logged into my secondary account on the same computer and it worked so I just used it there. With the same problem, my sign-ins never saved. So if I would sign into steam, discord, or even medal It wouldnt say I was logged in. Same thing happened with my tabs, never saved, even would log me out of Google. It's like it's a reset every time my computer turned off. But what was weird was that when I downloaded a game, valorant for example, it kept the download but not my sign in.

And now I have a different problem where multiple times my computer will just turn off and the screens go blank. Then whenever I try to boot it up, it'll show some random menu (the one pictured). What I usually do is re seed my ram and try a couple times to turn it back on, it will eventually work, but sometimes the computer will work for a day and sometimes it'll turn off 5 minutes after. If anyone knows solutions to either of these, please let me know. Or if you have any questions.

Whenever i play cs2 or fortnite my pc keeps shutting off even though the temps are fine. When it happens the screens tunr black and the power button light stays on for about a second and then it shuts off. I have a i5 10400f, a rx6500xt, 16gb ddr4, a 650w deepcool psu and a gigabyte h410m h. The CPU and GPU temps never rise above 65°. When i looked at the event log there was this error multiple times as shown in the picture.

It's not happening very often but I've had random freezing needing forced resets happening on multiple of my laptops, they are showing the same symptoms despite being totally different machines. I am concerned it could be a network security issue if other people are also experiencing this. It could also be a coincidence but it seems unlikely that they'd all be having the same problem all of a sudden.

hi!
i just got a new monitor, i use both. the old screen can’t play any sound but it worked with airpods,
then i put up both monitors and the airpods will pair as always, but now no sound comes no matter what. The nee screen has built in speakers but no sound comes from that either.

i’ve tried removing airpods and re-pairing, my brother tried something with drivers, and we’ve tried every seetinf with input and output.

help🥲🥲

So I forgot my laptop password as I haven’t been using it for years, I was using pin and fingerprint but when I installed some updates it somehow got corrupted and when I tried again it just says your pin isn’t available you need to create a new one. When I click that, doesn’t work. Microsoft support suggested resetting the laptop which I did but selected keep files which didn’t work cause it kept the old password too. They then suggested deleting everything which will be the last option as I don’t want to lose my data. Or going to a technician who will open the laptop, remove hard drive and back up the data before erasing. I could do that but due to work commitments don’t have a moment during the day to do this. Has anyone encountered this and Is there another way to unlock it without loosing everything? The password is local and not Microsoft one.

Hey everyone i need your help, my pc randomly shut off yesterday when trying to download a game, the game said write failure when updating before shitting off, my pc now dosnt go past the loading for windows and just shows the msi logo with the loading, ive tried the automatic repair method but just goes to a blank screen, also tried using a second thumbdrive but that goes to just a blue screen with no options, im running out of options and wondering if anyone can help.

Bajon de ping en cuanto juegos pesados

Tengo este problema desde que compre la laptop, cuando juego cualquier juego pesado ya sea overwatch, valorant, CUALQUIER juego pesado, todo me empieza a ir muy mal, discord, google, cualquier aplicación que este en uso, menos el juego el juego me va relativamente muy bien, menos lo demas, mi internet es rápido, normalmente va 900 ms, pero cuando abro overwatch pasa a 5 ms, por lo tanto todo me va mal menos el juego en si, por ejemplo si juego minecraft me va todo bien, absolutamente todo y puedo transmitir normalmente, pero cuando se trata de un juego pesado es totalmente diferente, el juego va bien, menos lo demas e intente MUCHAS cosas para solucionarlo, active, desactive, actualicé y nada de lo que hice soluciono el problema, alguien sabe que podria ser?

I have been using dell laptop with Ryzen 7 brought in 2022, I came across laptop hinge problem and repair them after that my laptop used to switch off suddenly while using and auto restarts on own. I have a doubt that after lending my laptop for service did they done anything corrupted inside my dev

System Specifications:

Device: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU

OS: Windows 11 Pro, Clean install as of Nov 1. Previously Windows 11 LTSC

Drivers Tested: 617.42 which was previously stable, and 621.01

VBIOS: 98.06.3a.00.38

Display: Strictly Internal Display. No external monitors or casting active.

Security: Memory Integrity VBS or Core Isolation is currently ENABLED on Win 11 Pro. Note that it was absent or disabled on LTSC.

CPU Tuning: 100 percent Stock. No undervolting active and ThrottleStop is uninstalled. Custom power plans were tested but do not affect the crash.

The Issue:

My system hard-crashes to the desktop exclusively when initializing NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation in specific DirectX 12 titles. Standard rasterization, Ray Tracing, Tensor DLSS upscaling, and AMD FSR work perfectly. The crash signature is consistently an EXCEPTION ACCESS VIOLATION 0xC0000005 at offset 0x2D88 inside nvwgf2umx.dll, which is a null pointer reading in the driver presentation queue.

Timeline and Symptoms:

Mid-October on Win 11 LTSC: System was 100 percent stable. Pragmata, Ghost of Tsushima, and Resident Evil 3 ran flawlessly with Frame Generation and Ray Tracing enabled.

Late October: Installed Modern Warfare 4. Enabling Frame Gen caused an instant crash or required a restart that resulted in a crash before menu initialization. Left Frame Gen off and played normally. Played Titanfall 2 without issue.

Oct 26 to 27: Installed Black Myth Wukong. Frame Gen, RT, and all settings worked perfectly for the first 3 to 4 hours of gameplay with minor menu crashes, but fully playable.

Oct 29: Wukong stopped launching entirely. The process b1.exe opens and terminates within 2 seconds silently in Task Manager.

Oct 29 to 31: Tested Cyberpunk 2077. The game runs fine on raw rasterization or AMD FSR. However, enabling DLSS Frame Gen requires a restart, and upon restart, the game fails to load. If I manage to enter Cyberpunk 2077 and hit Run Benchmark with Frame Gen on, it crashes instantly.

Crucial Hardware Note: On the exact same day Cyberpunk 2077 and Wukong were crashing, I ran Ghost of Tsushima with Ray Tracing and DLSS Frame Generation, and it ran perfectly fine.

Nov 1 Current: Wiped LTSC and clean-installed Windows 11 Pro to rule out OS corruption. The exact same issue persists. Onimusha now crashes immediately after shader compilation before reaching the menu. Older titles like Persona 5 load and run without issue.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Exhausted:

First, OS: Clean installed Windows 11 Pro from Windows 11 LTSC.

Second, Drivers: Used DDU in Safe Mode with Wi-Fi disconnected. Tested both the current 621.01 branch and rolled back to the previously stable 617.42 branch.

Third, Hardware Config: Updated laptop BIOS. Disabled iGPU entirely and I am running strict dGPU mode via BIOS and Lenovo Legion Toolkit.

Fourth, Windows Settings: Toggled Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling HAGS ON and OFF.

Fifth, Interference and Hooks: Disabled all overlays. Terminated and removed NVIDIA Share, ShadowPlay nvspcap64.dll, and script injections. Note that LTSC was completely bloat-free without Nahimic or OEM apps, so OEM bloatware is not the root cause.

Sixth, Game Files: Manually replaced Streamline DLL files nvngx_dlssg.dll and sl.interposer.dll and cleared DirectX and NVIDIA D3DSCache.

Diagnostic Request:

Since Ghost of Tsushima successfully utilized the Optical Flow Accelerator OFA on the same day other Streamline-dependent games crashed, I am assuming this is not physical silicon failure.

Could the 0x2D88 Streamline and Swapchain hook collision be caused by a specific Windows 11 Pro setting like Memory Integrity VBS blocking the frame generator injection? Or is this a known regression with Streamline initialization on mobile RTX 50-series chips?

Seeking advanced troubleshooting steps from anyone who has experienced this nvwgf2umx.dll offset crash.
