GL553VE NVidia issues after updating BIOS from 306 to 307

Mark_Ellison

I updated my BIOS from 306 to 307 on either Sept. 13 or 14. Since then my NVidia card has been unusable. I have had to set the default graphics card to Integrated to be able to run any Adobe Software, open the NVidia Control Panel, NVidia Experience, or any game (which now won't run because it needs the graphics power).

I have uninstalled and clean reinstalled the Microsoft issued Intel driver (I have not downloaded and installed the driver from Intel).
I have uninstalled and clean reinstalled the NVidia driver starting with version 399.07, which was the last version to run any Adobe Software fully, and now have the newest release, 411.63, installed.....still no help.

I have attached the DxDiag file for any useful info and copied and pasted initial stuff below.

i've read about the possibility of using EZ Flash to downgrade the BIOS to a prior version but that makes me nervous and not even sure it's possible with my system. I'm not sure what else to do to correct the issue.

Any help/insights would welcomed. 🙂

What do you mean by "unusable"? Game crashes? Blue screens? Poor performance?
Have you tried uninstalling the display driver using DDU?

Thank you for asking me to clarify - it was late and I wasn't thinking. lol

Using my NVidia card when I open:

  • Illustrator - it crashes immediately upon opening to the recent file screen to open a file
  • Premiere Pro - as soon as I create, select, or try to edit a sequence, place a video in a squence, or import a video into a project, it crashes.
  • After Effects - hangs on the the Installing MediaCore screen and I have to force close through Task Manager
  • Photoshop - hangs on importing Preference screen and I have to force close through Task Manager
  • NVidia Control Panel - hangs and crashes everytime I open it using the NVidia card
  • NVidia Experience - this is what it looks like running with NVidia graphics card

And yes I have used DDU to perform a clean uninstall and reinstall.

Hey man, do you still have issues with the 307 bios? I was wondering if I should flash it, please let me know.
