| 420085 | 2006-01-11 07:06:00 | I got a problem with my display. I turn on my computer and I got no picture as in dead black screen. I don't think this is a monitor problem ( I just bought the pc a month ago when the problem occured). prior to this display thing I encountered a blue screen error indicating that nv4_disp.dll might be causing the problem..not digitally signed.. etc. everything is default in settings and I do not think that the softwares I just installed caused the problem too--no extraordinary software are installed. Infact the problem started when I run windows media player and set a full screen mode for the visualization. and then the series of bad events came to surface on my system. system freezes, monitor flickers etc... I tried running dxdiag and its pointing the nv4_disp.dll to be a possible cause of the problem. PS: i am able to log on to windows and play music with windows media player just by using the keyboard. can this be a monitor problem? why am i able to log on to windows and play music? even if it is a problem with the video card will i be able to still log on? here are my specs: P4 HT support 800MHz 256mb memory Inno3D Nvidia Geforce MX 4000 as usual, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. |

| 420086 | 2006-01-11 07:15:00 | Uninstall the Nvidia drivers then delete its folder in C:\ Then reboot, then reinstall the Nvidia drivers again (81.98 I think are the latest drivers), if they support your videocard. Drivers are here (www.nvidia.com) This is if you're using Win 2000 / XP. Get the released version not the beta. |

| 420087 | 2006-01-11 21:41:00 | Can you see any POST messages, or is the screen always black? "Driver not digitally signed" is only a security warning message, and be often safely ignored . It's a feature of XP SP2 / 2000 SP4 . DxDiag will also find video drivers that are not digitally signed . Microsoft marketing propaganda: "For a driver to earn this certification, it must pass a series of compatibility tests administered by the Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) . Due to stringent WHQL standards, using signed drivers typically result in a more stable system . " Of course, we all know the quality of Microsoft's stringent standards . ;) . microsoft . com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default . asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmb_tol_mgvx . asp" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com |

| 420088 | 2006-01-12 08:20:00 | thanks for replying guys . prec8 8 . i dont want to say anything against "mcrsft" and their "ways" of doing busine$$ . . (8$ $$$$$00000 $$cary . . ) and because im using their product . ya know the hassle . when i initially installed everything from scratch it ran very smoothly until about a month after using it . i just dont really think that the problem is with the driver itself . it should have gone crazy just after i installed everything initially . . (CAUTION: the next line is a matter of a very personal opinion . . . ) I suspect this might be a "GHOST" inside xp that automatically hunts your system after a month . . kinda "were gonna bug YOU - as in ME- if they wont pay for it" . well, I will be trying out your suggestions ofcourse and I value your replies . I'll keep in touch with you guys . a message to KINGDRAGONFLY: no post message at all . screen is totally blank . but im able to log on to windows coz i hear the log on music in xp . a message to SPEEDY GONZALES: im gonna try out the latest u suggested thans . :) happy to hear from you soon!! thanks |

| 420089 | 2006-01-12 11:50:00 | Good luck uninstalling the drivers then deleting a folder in C: with no screen display :badpc: Try a different monitor, or your monitor on a different computer . You may have S-Video on the video card, you could try hooking it up to a TV to get a display while you sort the problem . |

| 420090 | 2006-01-12 20:40:00 | Some PC's boot very quick, and the monitor "wake time" can be slow, however even with a bad driver, you should see the POST messages. Try tapping the "del" / "esc" keys quickly while the PC boots to get into BIOS. At least this will verify your monitor. I think your problem may be with the monitor or card. |

| 420091 | 2006-01-17 07:02:00 | I have S-video but it also did not work. Could this be a video card problem? If so, why am I able to log on to windows and play music? I'm suspecting that this is a possible video card problem because of that. But I just could not dismiss the possiblity of a monitor issue because I can blindly log on... | jroche.5127 (9028) | ||

| 420094 | 2006-01-21 20:37:00 | I have S-video but it also did not work. Could this be a video card problem? If so, why am I able to log on to windows and play music? I'm suspecting that this is a possible video card problem because of that. But I just could not dismiss the possiblity of a monitor issue because I can blindly log on... ??? The S-video socket, has nothing to do with playing music, or logging into windows. Its so u can connect the video output, (from the videocard), to something like a TV. Or something else that has a s-video connection. In order for the s-video connection / output, to work properly, the videocard drivers have to be installed, and then you have to configure the videocard settings, once the drivers have been installed. |
