NV4_DISP errors

Matt Sakko · Jun 21, 2009, 07:37 PM

Hello people.

Well I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced problems with this part of their nVIDIA drivers. I currently have an XFX GTX260 Black Edition and an Asus EN8600GT and I have been having problems with both. Because this is the case, I am almost certain that it is not a problem with either of the cards. It is a driver issue and I have followed tutorials on how to fix these errors but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried 3 different nVIDIA drivers and two different operating systems(XP 32 and Windows 7 64) and 2 different motherboards(Asus P5N-T Deluxe & P5KPL-C/1600). Okay so this is what happens with XP: I run any game that is relatively demanding and after a while, never longer than 5 minutes, the game will freeze and my pc cannot recover. No matter what I do, the pc does not respond. So I have to restart. Sometimes, the game crashes like usual and I get a message saying that my NV4_DISP drivers have stopped working or something to that effect and my display is distorted. Either that or I get a BSOD message saying something about NV4_DISP. With Windows 7, my game crashes and I get an error message saying that nVIDIA has stopped working. Neither of my cards overheats. Always under 40C idling and under 60C on maximum load.
So that is quite specific but I just wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with NV4_DISP.

These games include:
Assassin's Creed
GTA IV
Crysis
Crysis Wars
Crysis Warhead
Far Cry
Far Cry 2

So please. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you mussels.

EDIT: Although I see the similarities and I have read the posts on that topic. I still cannot find a solution. I have searched google and I cannot find anything of use.

we cant find one for him either, the two of you need to work together and look for common software that may be causing it. have a looksee in his thread, i posted a list of things that may be causing it.

oo are you the other unlucky one that have the same problem as me? =(

richardbel · Jun 22, 2009, 02:56 AM

have you tried re-formating your drive.. and then reinstalling all the drivers.. set the game to the lowest possible settings too..

ShadowFold · Jun 22, 2009, 02:59 AM

I had the same thing on a GTX 275, along with many other things. RMA it, get a different card and it will magically go away.

thepew · Jun 22, 2009, 03:45 AM

but i just brought my GTX285 @ march... but good thing i have lifetime guarantee

Matt Sakko · Jun 22, 2009, 03:31 PM

Well I forgot to fill you in. I have reformatted 3 times. I have used many different drivers, many different cards and the issues can be seen on both my OSs and I have set the graphics option to lowest.

thepew · Jun 23, 2009, 12:07 AM

Hmm I turned my video card's fan speed from 40% to 70% things seems to be fine now.. give it a try =)

Matt Sakko · Jun 23, 2009, 07:00 AM

Haha I did that already. Does nothing.

thepew · Jun 23, 2009, 07:01 AM

hmm i donno but after speeding it up i dont get error or freezes anymore.. now just waiting for mussels to tell if thats a good idea...

Matt Sakko · Jun 23, 2009, 07:07 AM

Well it is not exactly a bad idea. I used to put my fan speed up to 85% when gaming to prevent overheating. If it can go that fast, why not make it?

thepew · Jun 23, 2009, 07:12 AM

will it like damage the card or the fan? o and how did you messed up your card? i messed up because of NFS Pro Street

FordGT90Concept · Jun 23, 2009, 07:13 AM

Do you have a TV tuner installed? How about a codec for playing back DVDs (specifically, NVIDIA PureVideo)?

Mussels · Jun 23, 2009, 07:42 AM

higher fan speed cant break anything. lower fan speed could cause an overheat, but higher cant go bad.

Matt Sakko · Jun 23, 2009, 05:03 PM

What do you mean FordGT90Concept?

twicksisted · Jun 23, 2009, 06:48 PM

he means a TV tuner pci card installed in your case... or the Nvidia Purevideo codec for media player which allows for watching of blueray and other film formats on the pc.

Matt Sakko · Jun 24, 2009, 09:02 PM

Well no, I have neither of those.

Matt Sakko · Jun 28, 2009, 11:53 AM

Well if anyone is still having this problem, registry cleaners do help. Sometimes they can cure the problem but they will certainly help.
RegCure
Uniblue Registry Booster
CCleaner

If you want any of these, send me a message.
