GPU-Z 0.6.7 render test crash...

[Deleted member 110753]

Hi Guys,

Testing GPU-Z 0.6.7 on an old PC (Asus P5B-E, Intel E6400, Gigabyte 7300GT, WinXP SP3), I got a BSOD trying a render test (Bus Interface).

Here after the WhoCrashed software analysis:

On Mon 21/01/13 19:07:31 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini012113-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: nv4_disp.dll (nv4_disp+0x1D662D)
Bugcheck code: 0x1000008E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFFFFFBD1E862D, 0xFFFFFFFFB2E3AAF4, 0x0)
Error: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\nv4_disp.dll
product: NVIDIA Windows XP Display driver, Version 306.81
company: NVIDIA Corporation
description: NVIDIA Windows XP Display driver, Version 306.81
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nv4_disp.dll (NVIDIA Windows XP Display driver, Version 306.81 , NVIDIA Corporation).

Hope this help...

nv4_disp.dll

Video driver crash, usually meaning unstable video card.

Never got any crash with this old card and driver...

Well, you just did according to the information you posted. Have you tried any other stress/render tests on that card?

BSOD is a crash..

erocker has pointed you in the right direction. Check temps of the card at load and also try different drivers and settings. Could be possible the card is giving up.

this happens instantly when you start the test ? every time ?

 

[Deleted member 110753]

Yes, each time.
FurMark works fine...

Yes, each time.
FurMark works fine...

Ok then its more than likely driver specific with GPUZ render test.

i'll setup a windows xp system in the next days and try to replicate the problem

Works fine on my 3850 AGP/XP x86/Cat. 12.3 system. I do have a 7600 GT in another system though I don't have time to install XP on it to test.

I have 3 other "NVidia" PC's (Gigabyte GTX650 OC, Gainward 9600GT OC, Twintech 9600GT) no problem so far, but they use the drivers 310.90.
I'm limited to 306.81 on the Gigabyte 7300GT...
