Win XP BSOD and nVidia cards.

Hi Gang, I'm new here.

I have a machine running a GA-7DXE mobo and a AMD XP2200+ CPU running XP
Pro. Until recently I was running a GeForce 2 MX400/64 in it. Then it
started to give me errors on start-up, a blue screen saying: "A problem has
been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your
computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: nv4_disp."
And the error message went on to say it could be cause by faulty hardware or
a corrupt file and then gave a bunch of hexadecimal bull****. (Which I wrote
down).
Hitting the reset button would most times fix it so I un-installed the
drivers and re-installed them. Same problem, every second or third cold-boot
I got this message. I did the thourough checkdisk thing and the HDD is fine,
even ran a diagnostic on the drive. OK, so I tried different detonator
drivers, several in fact. Still the same intermittent error on boot-up.

Hardware getting flakey thinks I so I borrowed a friends credit card (I'm
poor) and went out and bought me a nice new Leadtek Winfast A280-LE-TDH
GeForce 4 ti4200/128Mb MyVIVO. I installed it and used the drivers on the
disk that came with it. Two days later...... Same problem!!! I went to
Leadtek's site and downloaded the latest drivers for my card and installed
those but the problem persists.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I've tried everything I can
think of to fix it but have got nowhere.

Any and all help appreciated.
