There is a very long time that I search an issue for the problem of infinite loop, nv4_disp.dll, ...
 
Now I think that I have the solution ... It's work for me !
 
I load the defaut options in my bios.
Then I set my Ram timing to Turbo, my latency to 2, I enable "read around write" I set my AGP aperture size to 64 and I disabled the AGP 2x !!!
 
Yes, I know I lost a lot of performance by disabling this option, (AGP 2x) but it seems work without it ! It's crazy !
 
So I made a lot of test, and if I enable the AGP 2x, directly, when I boot my computer, XP don't boot up and I have the boring message "infinite loop , ...".
 
So I think that it's the AGP 2x which cause the problem.
 
What do you think about that ? Is et possible ?
Try to disable this option and say me if it works for you !
 
Thank

Well done Lose some performance but at least it now works
 
This is usually the part where we wait about 5hours and then you reply and say that it did it again
 
Did you try the via latency patch?

OP
yes I try the latency patch, but it doesn't change anything :-(
 
I hope that you 'll not see in 5 hours that it doesn't work again !
Indeed it works for 2 days! It's incredible
 
But I hope that Via and Nvidia are now working together to fix this boring problem.

The only option that worked for me was the via latency patch. No other options ever worked except that....and I tried them all.
