BSOD with WinXP x64 and nvidia 7900 GS

[erock23]

Hi,

Whenever I run a 3D game in Windows, my system crashes with a "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" relating to nv4_disp.dll (video driver). I had the exact same problem under WinXP x86, so I installed WinXP x64 since my computer has a 64-bit processor. I have used ForceWare and NGO drivers with no luck. I have tried Half-Life 2, Warhammer: Dawn of War (demo), Counter-Strike and Quake 3 (demo) and have the same problem with these programs. It seems like only programs using 3D graphics cause the system to BSOD. I have DirectX 9.0c installed along with all other drivers for the system.

The system can run Quake 4 and Half-Life 2 on Linux fine, so I know this is not a hardware problem. The same problem occurs on Windows XP's 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

I am running Windows XP x64 on a Pentium D, Abit AW8 Max motherboard and a Foxconn nvidia 7900 GS graphics card. I have tried using a couple different drivers with the same problems every time.

I contacted some people through QUNU (online tech support) and they were as stumped as I am. They recommended I post my problem here to see if anyone else could give me some insight into this problem.

Thanks for any help, I am baffled at this point.

I am currently having the same problem with a 7900 gs from BFG, on both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows. I have 3D games freeze on a regular basis, and the BSOD points to the nv4_disp.dll file as the culprit. Quality settings for the game being played have no effect on the problem, and all tech support did was say I should update to the latests drivers (which I told them was the first thing I did and that it didn't help).

Anyway, I'm having the same problem as erock23 and would appreciate any help. Thanks.
