Infinite loop with Nvidia card
Hi,
I bought a ST6-RAID several months ago and I've been plagued with infinite loop errors since then. I get a blue screen mentioning that the video card driver (nv4_disp.dll) got stuck in an infinite loop. I've tried everything from switching slots for my sound card and network adapter, to playing with BIOS settings, changing the PSU and even flashing to other BIOS versions. Nothing works! I keep experiencing random crashes. Strangely enough, it only happens while I'm on the Internet. This is driving me nuts! I know for sure that it's not a temperature issue, because I've checked and my video card is always cool. Besides I had previously added a thermaltake fan/heatsinks combo on it. I know from other threads that I've read that there seems to be a compatibility issue with that board when using either a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 or Audigy, which caused random reboots, and I have a Audigy. However, I don't know how that and a BSOD about my video card could be related. I've also tried a different video card in my system and my video card in another system and there were no error on either side! It looks like the video card and the board don't go well together. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Lastly, I don't even use RAID and the RAID controller is not enabled. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are my system specs: Abit ST6-RAID (BIOS v8A) PIII Tualatin 1.13 GHz 512 Mb RAM (2x256 Kingston CL2) Soundblaster Audigy Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti-4200 64Mb, with AGP 8X (Drivers: ForceWare 56.72) Linksys 10/100 LNE Fast Ethernet WD Caviar 80Gb @7200, 8Mb hard drive 52x LG CD-ROM 52x LG CDR-W/DVD combo Alpha 300W PSU |
