Preserved Topic: nvidia4.dll is crashing my pc! (Page 1 of 1)

When i run a game it crashes after a few minutes.
It shows the win2k bluscreen with some error messages and the filename nvidia4.dll.
I have the newest graphics, directx -drivers. And i also have installed sp2.
What is the fecking problem?
/Thanks! OlssonE

Well stop running games.



Duh!

ugh... you could try.. updating.. that .dll?

what did you change right before that problem occured the first time?

What drivers are you running with? 30.82 or 40.41?

If you are running with 40.41 there is some problems with them that can be fixed.

I'll help later if you have the 40.41 drives

COPEY

Yes I have 40.41! Help me!
and the drivers worked before I installed sp2

try reinstalling the drivers.

You could try installing OLDER drivers - (pre or early DetonatorXP)

Nvidia updated drivers are notorious for failing in Win2k
They were stable around the 18XX releases (sorry - can't be more specific about the release number)

[edit] But you may just want to ignore this altogether - there's better advice in the thread [/edit]

Okey also did you install them over any older drives like 30's, etc? cus that makes a lot of porblems going form 30.-- drivers to 40.-- dirves. Anyway try these:

1) Reinstall the drivers as G said.

Or

2) Uninstall the drivers, reboot, install again. If same problem is still there do the same as you just did but delete any files that are nvidia's that you can find (like nvidia4.dll) after the first reboot and reboot then install the drivers again and see how it goes.

I had problems with the 40.41 drivers cus I just overwritten the old drives my 30.82, which just makes problems (which they don't tell you about). I just uninstalled the 30.82, rebooted and installed the 40.41 and it works fine.

COPEY

To fully uninstall the previous drivers, you could try this lovely piece of software...

I had almost the exact same problem.
Once I went back to the old drivers, no more problem.

OlssonE: Did you solve the pronlem? If not get the NEW NEW Nvidia 40.71 drivers (which is okey for overwritting the older drivers) and see how it goes .



COPEY

I have tried everything I have even reinstalled win2k.
I'll try that driver but I don't think it's going to work.
I don't have my programsfolder and documents and settings folders on the systemroot partion. Can this be the problem?

actually, how did you do that not having docs-and-settings on another drive?

Copey:
I have d/l the new drivers and sp3. I will come back and tell you if it worked.


GRUMBLE:
Change Doc and Set click here
Change Program Files clickhere
Those links will be helpful I think

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Thanks for the help everybody!
I don't really know what the problem was but after messing around in bios it works!
