Crashing issue...

[Sargass]

So everybody knows that im encountering some PC/internet/GFX issue...i dont know...

OS: Windows XP SP3
Gfx: Nvidia 9800GT

What happend?

While im playing Games or just watch vid on internet...Image freeze, sounds continue til the sound lag like a buggin mp3 and then blue screen and reboot.
At blue screen, i just have the time to see that nv4_disp.dll stopped...Why? cant tell?...I've already look for it and nv4_disp.dll is a main part of the driver

So i guess problem comes from Gfx drivers but when i try to update the driver, the nvidia installer crash and removes my driver->back to 600*480 screen...lovely. Hopefully i got almost all the driver from elder to newer one and i found one with install shield that working...at least for install...it doesn't solve the problem while playing.

i looked at Administration tool and Registry entries...and all i can find at crashing time is

Thats is like Chinese for me...So if someone already encountered the same problem or if someone has a solution? The only solution i see is a complete format of hardrive and a window re-install but if i can fix this without reinstalling it will be cool^^

have you tried removing the graphics drivers and loading them back on again with the most up to date one?

are you running a sound card or onboard sound. are you using sound throw hdmi or speakers/headphones

 

[BluBirD78]

Yeah I would try updated graphics drivers first. The way I always do the graphics, sound, etc... drivers is, first uninstall them in Windows then reboot in safe mode, and run Driver Sweeper. Analyze ONLY the files that pertain to what you are wanting to uninstall, and for this it would be the Nvidia-Display then clean the system of whatever it finds, reboot in normal mode after cleaning and installed new drivers, see if this helps bud

P.S. Half of that I can't read because it's not English haha

 

[DamageINC]

Yeah, driver sweeper is good. Totally uninstall the GFX drivers then reinstall.

 

[WaLLy]

Uninstall and reboot. Then you can install the new drivers.

 

[Sargass]

Brian> no sound card, onboard sound...headset or speakers depend of what i do, i dont watch videos with headset

For the last two days i did
Defrag
correct errors
runned driver genius to try to update drivers...two wont update

the Nvidia one->Downloading, unpacking, installing and crash (Driver from 270.61 to 285.58 have Nvidia installer...before they had install shiield...install shield worked fine now nvidia installer crash)->finally installed the 258.96 but that keeps crashing. Weird part is that my comp does'nt crash when i use vlc or another video program. It only crash while playing (solo or multi) or watching vid on internet.
The realtek one (wich is audio driver)->tried to update-> instashield Crashed->tried to uninstall->crashed->tried to remove->crashed


Im gonna look for a new window install and format all that damn Hardrive...
And if it still does'nt solve the problem im gonna sure buy a new gfx card that will not be a Nvidia.

Okay ran Driver Sweeper...get rid of a bunch of Nvidia files but there's still some Nvidia files...is it normal?

CWINDOWS\system32\nv4_disp.dll
CWINDOWS\system32\dllcache\nv4_mini.sys
CWINDOWS\system32\dllcache\nv4_disp.dll
CWINDOWS\system32\drivers\nv4_mini.sys
CWINDOWS\prefetch\NWIZ.EXE-03B4F2CF.pf

and some more like that
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders\CProgram Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client\

or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtek\ for the audio driver

that are listed like Registry values

Should i remove them manually? or just reinstall over it?

 

[DamageINC]

Those look like SYS32 files which i don't think you want to mess with. Try installing the latest Nvidia driver for your card now. Does video crash online on every browser you try?

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us&ptid=1&psid=51&pid=309

 

[Sargass]

Okay, tried to install latest driver 285.58...and installation still crash during "Nvidia control panel installation" or just before the Nview install...and after that installer says

Driver install fail
Control panel fail
Nview not installed

Never tried the videos on another browser than Firefox, but every streaming site crash, including youtube and Dailymotion.

 

[DamageINC]

In order for new video card drivers to work correctly, you must first make sure that all old drivers for the video card are removed, as the old ones can conflict with the new ones, giving various errors when trying to run games ect.

Firstly, remove old drivers by navigating to device manager, and select display adapters, double click on your graphics card, select the driver tab, and select uninstall for your video card driver.

Download and install driver cleaner pro here

Once installed, reboot your computer and start in safe mode, run driver cleaner and select Nvidia from the drop down list to be cleaned. This will remove all remaining parts of the old driver. It should be run in safe mode as this has the best results.

Once cleaned, restart the computer. Install the new driver.

Did you try doing all of those steps?

 

[Sargass]

For now when i check Display adapter in Device manager it says "Video controller VGA compatible"..so i guess there is no driver installed for now...

i installed DCpro and run it right now...Let see...

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

So no more Nvidia files on comp...Restarted in normal, ran the Nvidia 285.58 install. And crashed at same place again...

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

so i ran DCpro again...and installed 258.96 that seems to be the last version my computer can tolerate...:'(

So soon a new gfx card but surely not a Nvidia... so anyone know a good one that is affordable, can run recent game and COD4?

 

[DamageINC]

Try this, it's worth a shot. It's the second to latest driver. Just type in the little code and follow the download prompts.

[Sargass]

Tks im gonna try this one but i doubt it fixes anything...already tried

270.61
275.33
258.58

They all fail cause their fuckin Nvidia installer wont work properly on my comp. Im seriously get tired of this gfx card.

Haven't even try to start the install...Nvidia installer. Im gonna try to find a window to re-install...need a USB bootable one. If it still doesn't work...i'll buy a new card.

Getting window 7 ultimate tomorrow...hope it'll solve

 

[DamageINC]

I would bet installing a clean W7 will help greatly.

 

[Sargass]

Window 7 installed...works fine...Nividia upgrade too now...stupid devellopers who doesn't think about cavemen players who still use XP^^

Need to buy a new DVD now to re-install games

 

[DamageINC]

Glad you go it sorted.

Lol @ caveman player.

 

[Sargass]

Okay now everything running fine...even MW3...except that the game crash but i think i've seen the error somewhere before like in a foru thread or something. Tks a lot for the help anyway

Problem solved..just plug headphone AND mic...

 

[BluBirD78]

Glad it started working again, I've seen this a lot that you have to have a mic plugged in and I never understood it, I have never had one plugged in on mine and it's always worked fine for me. Yeah I've had the iw3mp.exe crash on mine before but I would just restart the game it all was good, weird huh lol.
