Nvidia ION Coprocessor Driver For Windows 8 / 10

By

The Nvidia ION chipset was used in affordable Intel Atom based Nettop PC’s released in 2009 onwards. Although not very powerful compared to PC’s of the time Nvidia ION based Nettop PC’s such as the Acer Revo R3600 series and the AsRock ION 330 where very popular for playing HD video. Using XBMC 720p and 1080p HD video decoding could be offloaded from the Intel Atom processor to the Nvidia ION GPU, allowing 1080p High Definition video to played back with ease on a very low powered device.

If you want to install a more modern version of Windows on an Intel Atom / Nvidia ION based desktop that is perfectly possible. Windows 8 works perfectly, as does the Windows 10 preview. Windows Update contains all the drives you require to get the system running with the exception of the Nvidia ION Coprocessor Driver.

Thankfully though the Windows 7 Nvidia ION Coprocessor Driver still works perfectly on Windows 8 and 10, and can be installed without installing any other older drivers.

    Thank you. This resolved a problem I was having with Ion device drivers from Nvidia. They run a hidden, network firewall in the pack install. I was able to uninstall all device drivers except display, however I still needed the coprocessor driver for win 7. Used your extract and all is well.

    Thanks Matt

    I’ve installed the drivers on my Acer Revo nettop box and on Windows 8.1 there was no problem and I got a good result. On Windows 10 the drivers seem to have installed but I cant geta full screen display on my 51 inch TV The dispaly does not take up the whole screen with large area of black at the sides and top/bottom.

    Any ideas how to fix the problem in Windows 10 ??

    • Matt Hill Post Author Reply

      You need to look for the over scan options in the Nvidia Control Panel, you should be able to get everything to fit the screen perfectly then.

        Thanks. A couple or reboots seemed to have solved the problem automatically. Thanks for your help. It’s appreciated.

    Hi
    please help me !!!

    its not work with my asus vx6 with NVIDIA ION 8.17.12.5743 and I can’t take the upgrade of windows 10

    • Matt Hill Post Author Reply

      The ASUS VX6 has the Nvidia ION 2 so the driver is likely different. Do you have the chipset drivers for Windows 7? if so extract the installer with WinRAR (if the drivers are packaged in an exe), then go in to device manager, right click on the co processor that is missing the driver, update driver and point the folder to look for the driver to the chipset folder you extracted from the Windows 7 drivers you extracted.

      Hopefully that should work for you.

    One correction:
    Asus eee PC 1215N has build in Nvidia ION2!

    How did you upgrade such a PC? The automatically Windows Upgrade App denied the upgrade because of incompatible grafic chipset (especially ION). Upgrade from DVD?

    Are there any users whose PC 1215N works then with Windows 10?

    Thanks for taking the trouble to create this blog post, Matt.
    It cured a missing driver problem for me with Windows 10 on my Asus Eeebox 1501 PC.

    Thanks for the link to the compressor drivers for 64 Bit, I had to do a fresh rather than an upgrade of windows 10 and this was the final driver I needed.

    Hi all, I have an asrock ION 330ht-bd. I installed windows 10 pro,then th coprocessor driver from this article and everything appear ok in device manager but I experience continuos explorer.exe crash when I try to open explorer windows or in example when I try to open system properties pagethe screen flash up and the user interface redraw itself. If i uninstall ion graphics driver from device manager the trouble seems to disappear but obviously I don’t have accelerated graphic.

    Thanks a lot! I have been looking for a long time and could finally find the solution on your blog. My eebox EB1501 is working fine now, I also changed the harddisk with a SSD one. A dream!

    Matt,

    Is there a method for going from Windows 7 32-bit with Asus 1215n Ion Graphics to Windows 10? Better yet, there is some way to get the “Windows 10 Free Update” prompt to recognize a new driver and allow for the OS to be updated without doing a fresh install?

    Hei,

    I intalled Win 10 on my old HP Mini 311c 1000SO notebook. It runs quite well, a little slow but that was the same with XP. But I have the same problem, missing coprocessor drivers. It has a Nvidia Ion Le graphics. I installed the latest graphic drivers. But there where no chipset drivers on the Nvidia page (neigther on the Hp)
    Any idea?

      Just follow the directions given at the top of this page.
      I have the same notebook as you, and I just fixed my missing coprocessor issue by doing as Matt explained.

    Thank you! just upgraded to windows 10 two days ago, could not figure out what was going on with a random error code about power, looked into device manager, found a co-processor, took two days to find your site, but hey! you did it, most lovely. All the other stuff i tried, installing nforce driver from nvidia, reinstalling the gpu drivers/software from clean. talk about annoying. Thank You very MUCH!

    Just finished upgrading an old Acer Aspire X1300 AMD Phenom triple core, Nvidia 256mb on-board graphics, could just do with a bit more vram for res above 1080p, made to run Vista 64bit, now running Win10 64bit from a Vaseky 512GB msata SSD in a 2.5″ enclosure with 8GB ram, runs quick and smooth, this coprocessor driver completed the driver setup, many thanks for sharing

    Nice work, dusted off my Revo 3610 for an extra PC for my kids to use during their enforced time off school (global plague just starting if reading in the future).

    Noticed this essential driver was missing so you have saved the day, cheers!

    Thanks a lot this worked on my Dell Studio one 1909.

    Just in case someone else needs it there is another driver that was needed when updating to windows 10.
    Right under my coprocessor was another unknown device that needed a driver. Here is the info that I found for that device.

    Unknown device
    Device ACPI\FOX0100\1010100 requires further installation.
    Dell ODD Eject Button, v.1.1.6, A01

    Don’t click to put in your info just scroll down to where it says Download file.

    Kudos, Matt! I’m repurposing my Asus Netbook and it wasn’t using the GPU for video, making the unit useless. Your simple and clear solution, and providing the exact files, was perfect! Thank you!

    Thanks Matthew, I can confirm this worked on my Acer Extensa AX1301.

    Thanx for the coprocessor driver link and instructions!
