BSOD installing Nvidia drivers.

Hello,

I've been having a problem for weeks with the NV drivers. It would lock up in the middle of a game, or a movie, and toss the "driver got stuck in an infinite loop" BSOD. I was usually able to reinstall but now I'm getting it as soon as I try to install them at all. The part where the screen flashes (I guess when the display driver is starting) and it BSODs right away. I've checked out all the hardware about a dozen times, everything is working properly and within the norm. Just the video card. 600W PSU that I bought a few months ago to replace an old one.

I eventually gave up and reinstalled MCE (Yeah, it sucks, but it's all I got) and did a complete format. I'm still getting the same problem, no matter what version I use. I did some searching about the error but there doesn't seem to be any one single fix for the problem. I've had it before, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what I did to fix it.

Please, someone help me, I've been working on this damned problem for five days now and I'm still no closer to finding a solution.

System specs:

AMD Athlon XP 3200+
1 GB of RAM
XFX GF6800 GT
Sound Blaster Audigy


Any help you guys could give me, would be extremely appreciated 🙂
 
No, it's quite a few years old, and a least a year past it's warranty. I don't have any backups to test with, or the money to afford a new one. So you think this one is fried?
I'm not missing anything obvious? Any tests I can run? Anything at all?

Sadly, this is all I got, so I have to make do. If the card is fried, then I'm pretty much screwed 🙁
 
Stop code is 0x0EA

Did that yesterday.

I've done that about 20 times or more. Probably more.

I tried every official driver between the latest, and the early 80 series.
 
Anyone? Isn't there a program or something I can use to test the card with? I want to know 100% that the card is toast and I can't use it before I throw it out. It ain't gonna do me much good if I can't do anything with it, since I'm stuck with the standard VGA driver. 🙁

 
I don't have another computer to test it in. No spare parts at all, and I just moved to this area, so I don't know a single frigging person who I could use to test it with 🙁

With all the programs out there for testing memory, you would think someone would have come up with something to test a video card or something at the hardware level. I mean, if it can load the VGA driver, it must still be working at some level. Maybe just the GPU is fried and basic stuff is still working? I dunno, I'm guessing here.
