My WinXP box has a Asus V6800 GeForce DDR inside.

From time to time I get a BSOD where I can read a message linking the crash to a file named NV4_DISP.DLL which is part of the nVidia driver files. This happens since i installed XP, only when using standard apps and never in 3D games.

I tried all the driver sets, official and leaked, from 14.xx to 21.xx, reinstalled XP often, but could not get rid of this $%&#$...

Did anyone experienced this ?Any ideas ?

Wow. I'm not the only one. I get the same error. But it happens whenever it feels like it. In the middle of a 3d game. Even before a game starts. 2D games and even when watching DivX Movies. I don't know what is going on. Its getting annoying. I have no idea why it does this.

I have only tried the Det. Drivers all the way up to 21.85.

Which ones have worked best for you?

Ahm, another poor unlucky guy like me... So probably there are more like us but they're ashamed to say their PCs crash... :D :D :D

Well, this can be an issue specific specific of Asus cards... Xcert, do you have an Asus card too or is it another brand ?

I can't say what driver is the better...Maybe the Asus 14.6x ones... but they're old ;) All they crash sooner or later, including the newest NVIDIA 22.50 released yesterday. ;)

I don't have an Asus card. Its a Chain Tech??? Something like that. Here are my system specs.

Hmmm.... my motherboard has one of these too...
I wonder if there's any relation to ths BSOD... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Better we look for more info somewhere... maybe other forums... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, that seems the best to start.

This is what I found on the via hardware site that is somewhat related to our prob.

This seems to happen with VIA K7V-T mobo's also???

There have been a couple post about geforce/VIA Chipset conflicts, but no fixes from what I can see.

Does this sound familiar? =)

Familiar... and confusing.

What about using the default WinXP GeForce Drivers (no OpenGL, I know) ? Just for a while, to see if it still crashes...

And maybe we can tweak some BIOS settings too...

Hmmm... lets try it?

Before I forget, it looks like there's one more driver release: 22.40. Look at www.neowin.net
