when i play halo it usually locks up and reboots or will feeze for awhile and come back...when it reboots on its own i looked under event viewer and this is what it says.

" The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates."

i uninstalled the driver and installed the newest one and played for about 5 mins and it locked up and rebooted again....what could be wrong? bad card? i have a 6600gt.

When you uninstalled, did you then use a program that FULLY removes any remnants of your old drivers?

If not, one can be found at www.guru3d.com

ok it just did it again when i was playing(froze up)....but something inside of the case started ticking then it quit and the game came back on.

I assume you've checked the cooling fan on the card?

 

[NEWYORKJETS000]

yes its fine

do you have the latest updates for the game? does this happen while playing multiplayer or single player campaign?

*Download latest Halo patch
*Download latest NV drivers
*Download Driver Cleaner
*Uninstall current video drivers
*Reboot into safe mode & run Driver Cleaner
*Reboot into normal mode & install latest NV drivers

Could also be your mobo drivers.

Good luck

im thinkin its a compatibility problem. cuz the board is ati chipset and the card is nvidia. what do ya think?

I had the same issue when enabling 8xAA with nvidia cards on a nvidia nforce4 SLI chipset board, so I don't think that the ATI chipset and nv card is the problem. What are your system specs?
