The new 23.11 NVidia drivers fixed all my infinite loop BSOD
Just a heads up. Try it. . . .

The VIA BETA driver patch was designed for AMD based KT133x, KT266x, VT8662, and KLE133 VIA motherboards in WindowsXP .
George Breese comments:
"On these chipsets, it will patch register 55 in the Northbridge, which will supposedly switch off a Memory Write Queue timer. In the KT133A datasheet, register 55 is "reserved".
But - yikes! - in the KT266, the documented MWQ register is register 95, not 55. Register 55 contains unrelated DDR timing adjustments and could actually be dangerous to program.
For this reason, I do not recommend installing this driver on the KT266x chipsets until VIA examines this issue. For now, use WPCREDIT and set bits 5, 6, and 7 to zero in register 95 instead."
