Infinite loop video driver problem + windows forcing a reboot to prevent dmg to comp.
I have been getting weird windows restart the past few days, almost like when power goes out for like just under a second and the computer shuts down and restarts. On restart windows said it recovered from a major error. I ignored it at first but after it hapenning about 5 times in the past week i told a friend he suggested i do the following:
my computer > properties > advanced > startup and recovery > settings > uncheck automaticly restart. so i did all that but it didnt stop the spontanious restarts, instead i now get a dark blue screen saying windows has to shut down to prevent damage to my computer, something with infinite loop in a driver causing the malfunction with file nv4_disp being implicated. After i restart the computer it gives me windows had a major error etc etc. apparently its my nvidia drivers. I have latest drivers 6177 video card: geforce 6800 GT 256mb mobo: asus p4p800-e deluxe pentium 4 3.0GHz 350w power supply edit: windows xp SP1 problem only started recently and i did not do anything special with my computer beside installing a new game "warcraft3" had no problem with it before. i run a virus scan almost dayly and also update virus deffinition It seems to crash only while im playing warcraft3 but i can not swear i am not 100% sure please what should i do? I'll provide any additionnal info needed any help is appreciated, barnak Last edited by barnak; October 22nd, 2004 at 06:01 AM. |

Hi barnak
Try using system restore and roll back to when everything was ok. |

I Never did a system restore and i dont know how to do it.
also now that you mention system restore, i remember that about 2 weeks ago my virus scan detected a virus it was unable to eliminate, after reading about how to eliminate it, i remember i had to disable system restore. Curiously the virus was never detected in other virus scans even after doing the steps mentionned in the text. I believe i put system restore back on after. |
