I just got a BSOD while loading the game Dirt. it sat at the load screen for a minute or so, then crashed and the error was NV4_disp. I'm guessing it has to do with video problems or something. im not sure. this is the second time its done it in the past week. any ideas on what might be causing this? thanks.

The 6800GT, and some 7xxx series, have a known problem with "device driver stuck in infinite loop" in NV4_disp. The nVidia people have never been able to nail it down, and nobody really knows what causes it. If thats what you have, it won't go away permanently until you change motherboards to a different chipset, or upgrade to a newer card.
Before you start the game, open the Task Manager, and End all the User Processes except the explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe. Perhaps you can leave your AV running.
DO NOT end any SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE and NETWORK SERVICE processes.
Good luck!

...and once you've updated the drivers and all WinXP components, debug any future dumps you get (see my web page). Doing anything else when your box is dumping (and clearly telling you the problem) is guessing, and hence a waste of time.
BSOD is a kernel-mode problem; you suggest ending all user-mode processes, which by definition cannot kernel-crash the machine. That won't do anything.
Yeah, my experience is this can't be debugged at the windows O/S level. By definition it is either a hardware failure or a kernel mode driver fault. Heat can be the culprit, but given that you have a 6800GT I suspect you have the problem I described earlier. It is extremely random in nature, and as far as my experience it only happens with games that really exercise the 3D functions. I had it most often with BF2, and sometimes went weeks between espisodes, other times it happened every session. Since you're on nForce 4 (it happened mostly with nF3 and nF4) my conviction is even greater.
You can try searching for an answer, but I don't know of one that is foolproof. This has been going on for over five years, and people have changed everything you can think of. I upgraded to a 7600GT and haven't had a lock-up since.

try updating, or perhpas rolling back to past video drivers. i have a 6600GT and i got a bluescreen with a NV4_disp error in GTA:SA. looked for updated drivers, found some, updated and the problem went away.
i got the same while using value-ram with that crappy dfi lanparty board. it is incompatable with any sort of value-ram. did u EVER use any of that on your mb? if so, u should do a reformat.
another slight chance would be that one of ur ram sticks is bad or a higher chance wouldbe that ur mb is bad. gl

I have the newest drivers that i have been running sense my last reformat about 1 month ago. Im gonna check out that thing on your website dclive.
hmm i updated the newest drivers yesterday. and it still getting the blue screen. it only happens on the menu screen of the game dirt as far as i can tell. anyone have any ideas?
have u tried a reformat yet? i'm 75-80% sure that your windows is already corrupted and it'll be a lot easy to fix with a fresh install.
oh sorry forgot to mention that, yes i reformatted last weekend had same error on the 2nd day once i had to game installed
When you debugged the dump what was the output?
Don't just reformat - you'll waste your time. Figure out what the problem is!
Again, please go to the web page in my .sig and look at the bsod guide, and that will tell you exactly what to do.
Unless when he reformatted he put the same driver back in place, which in the same circumstances will do exactly the same thing - cause the machine to crash.
That's why it's always good, whenever a box is crashing, to run the dump thru the debugger. Takes just minutes but it can save hours of work and time wasted doing things like reinstalling Windows (!) or other strange things.
well i never did the debugger. i was too lazy, i rolled back the drivers and all is good. my fined was having issues with the same driver so its nividas problem i believe
