SE198WFP wont show up in Windows 7 , just "Generic non-PnP monitor".

[WeeHawky]

So, I'm not sure if it's from upgrading to the nVidia 950, or what.. But that's what it's showing now under Device Manager.

I downloaded http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=7MCVG , but it didn't let me update the driver (since it still thought it was the Generic Non-PnP) .

Any ideas short of reinstall ?

most monitors do; so what. This never matters; what matters is your GPU Drivers.
Monitor never needs a driver.

If Microsoft has a 3rd party driver for your Display; go to Windows Updates or Devices & Printers and it should install from that.

That monitor is very old. Don't worry about it unless you're having problems. Are you having problems?

It was showing the model properly when I had the 6750.

Just the "color scheme" thing showing up sometimes when I alt tab out. (And the monitor has started squealing sometimes.. for some reason..)

Did u remove the Monitor and all the AMD crap before new GPU install?
Do that.

Do that.

I removed the AMD display drivers , of course the CPU probably has some stuff left over. (and motherboard, etc)

It's an AMD Motherboard?

Ok do this.

Download NVIDIA GPU driver from here: Geforce.com/drivers (do the manual way)

Download AMD Chipset Drivers from AMD.com

Download and run DDU > http://www.wagnardmobile.com/?q=display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-

Reboot to safe mode, run DDU and remove all for AMD and NVIDIA. As well as go into Device Manager, right click your Monitor > Uninstall. Then reboot when done all this.

BTW make sure Windows Updates is OFF.

Windows boots back into normal mode; give it 5 mins to auto install stuff it finds now.

It asks to reboot, click NO.

Now install AMD Chipset Drivers, asked to reboot click Yes.

Then install NVIDIA GPU drivers, click custom, de-select Geforce Experience, tick the Clean Install box. Reboot when asked.

Change Windows Updates back to "Check for Updates Only"

Enjoy

So you are saying " Geforce Experience," is messing things up ?

It's bloatware u don't need to have. It has a purpose; if you don't require it you yourself; cut it from your life.

I'll download all this stuff later when I am not on my metered hours (which will be after midnight).

Check cable, but most likely, you will need to replace the electrolytic capacitors...
8 years old, they often dry up, for those who know how to solder it is simple, there is usually only 10-15... otherwise need go to any service repairing consumer electronics.

Sounds to me like dying monitor

Maybe I should start looking for a replacement..

U sure it is the Monitor "hissing"?
Could be your GTX 950 or PSU; since those parts are new and u just now hearing this.
This is what is called "Coil Whine" and basically any GPU or PSU can suffer from it.
