452271	2006-05-05 04:18:00	I'm tearing my hair out - all i do is come home from work for the last 2 weeks and try to figure out this problem then sleep and repeat. I built a computer 2 months ago: AMD 64 3700+ ASUS A8N5X WD SATA 320g HD ASUS combo CD/DVD ANTEC 500w psu w/ dual 12v XFX nVidia 6800 XT pci-e XP pro w/ sp2 all updated and current 4x512 Corsair XMS3200 (same model specs in dual channel) It worked fine for the first month - now for the last month I am having serious issues. Here is what happens: The screen will get distorted - either whacked out polygons or symmetric distortions. Sometimes it will freeze and pop back to normal or it will just freeze. Then either the monitor will blink to black for a couple seconds then pop back on and repeat. Or after it freezes it will turn black and nothing - the cpu is still on - but nothing happens - i can do nothing but a hard reboot. other times it will crash - and for literally a split second i get the BSOD then it reboots. I can find no rhyme nor reason why this happens. Sometimes it happens constantly and consistently - other times i can go for hours with no problem. it almost always happens when i play BF2 - but it also happens on the desktop - and 2 times it happened during POST. -------------------------- What I've done after reading and researching it seems that it could be: vid card faulty, power supply, a device driver, corrupted xp install, over heating, other. * I've monitored the temperatures and voltage - all seem fine. * taken out vid card, memory visually inspected and put them back in - looks fine. * flashed bios to newest version * uninstalled, reinstalled back and forth for the vid driver * relaxed the memory timings to 2.5-3-3-6 2T * tested memory * disabled the hardware accelerator and unchecked write enabling * have the case opened with 2 4" fans right on the cpu/vid card * several runs of NAV internet security and spybot **I am very careful about minimizing virus/malaware risks. It really doesn't seem to like BF2. Please Please I really need help - i'm out of ideas and it seems over my head.

452276	2006-05-05 05:22:00	I just tried BF2 again - boom crash - but the BSOD is blaming nv4_disp for an infinite loop . Could this be the drivers for the mobo chipset? Which is nForce4? If so what can I do? This file belongs to the videocard drivers . Either uninstall the Nvidia drivers in add/remove programs, use Drivercleaner pro (http://www . drivercleaner . net) to remove all entries for the videocard drivers . Or take the videocard back and get it replaced . If its under warranty . And make sure you're installing the 64 bit version of the video drivers, if the mobo and version of windows is 64 bit .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
452277	2006-05-05 05:29:00	Get updated videcard drivers from here (www.nvidia.com) Make sure you download the right version for your version of windows.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
452278	2006-05-05 05:41:00	ok i just crashed again - though this time it was the monitor blinking on and off...grrrrrrrrr it definitely seems to be something with nVIdia. So either the vid card, firewall, mobo chipset. For the life of me i cant figure out how to get rid of the firewall......... i'll try using the drivercleaner pro then re-install the drivers. and yes i have been removing thru add/remove software - and getting the drivers straight from nvidia. no im not running the 64 bit versions	Commie (10353)
452279	2006-05-05 05:48:00	Install drivercleaner and run it in safe mode . NOT in normal XP . Then select the Nvidia drivers (the entry that just says Nvidia), and it'll remove all entries for it . Then reboot, then reinstall the latest version of the videocard drivers . If it still crashes, the videocard is the prob . Take it back . What firewall? If this is the NV firewall, this is part of the mobo . If you're talking about XP's firewall, DON'T disable it, unless you have another firewall installed . Its either the videocard or the videocard drivers .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
