WinXP 'nv4_disp.dll' Infinite Loop Crash

Anyone else getting this BSOD in XP? Seems to be driver related. Anything other than the native Geforce (12. 40) drivers eventually will crash XP with WinXP 'nv4_disp. dll' Infinite Loop message. Any ideas would be appreciated It happens at stock speeds also, not just overclocking.

It happens at stock speeds also, not just overclocking. Have also tried raid and non raid with same results.

Exactly, dosfreak.
 
This problem is getting WORSE instead of better!!!! I ONLY had this problem when playing Max Payne at first. In an effort to fix that, I started getting the BSODs in Windows when not playing games - just out of the blue. It was infrequent, but bothersome nonetheless. Now, I get them ALL the time when I play Madden NFL 2002. It is starting to piss me off.......WHY?!?!?!?! Don't tell me I'm gonna have to install Windows 98SE. This is bullshit. I just want it to work!!!!!!!

I'd recommend a 2000/XP dual-boot. XP will need a long while for it's problems to be ironed out. Oddly enough mainly because it's so similar to 2000!

Sorry for my english i'm french ;(
 
try this, i had this problem on WIn XP with Geforce 2 TI leadtek with MSI mainboard with VIA chipset.
 
I have install 21.83 detonator, via 4in1 and i have in BIOS VIA.
 
Put off the AGP *4, i have put *2 and i works but power decrease but i work (only 50img/s on Unreal tournament)...
 
But on win2K with 21.83 with AGP *4 it work (110 img/s)
 
it's AGP VIA/XP nividia incompatibility

Waza,
 
I think I've done it all, and I just tried your suggestions. It didn't work. Thanks for trying though.
 
I set it to 2x instead of 4x,
installed VIA AGP drivers,
installed VIA 4in1 drivers,
and used the 21.83 drivers.

The 23.11 drivers are actually an official nVidia release, so you can get them from the nVidia website.
 
Been using them for a couple of days now, no infinite loops yet

Andy ! can you write your hardware config please to compare to mine...
 
The 23.11 say it's unofficial nVidia release when XP try to install

Actually I think you'll find it's just not CERTIFIED. They are official release drivers because they are on Nvidias own site!
 
The error in XP is just to tell you that microsoft haven't certified it (big whoop).

Interesting. I've never seen this error on my machine. I'm having trouble telling by reading the thread... is it so far only NVidia boards that are having the problem? I've got a voodoo5, KT7 MB, AMD 750 processor and it seems rock steady. The only blue screens I've seen since installing have been from ejecting the CD too early after installing something (IE Please put CD-ROM vol # blahblahblah back in the drive)...

It seems to really only happen on FULL AGP cards, such as any nvidia agp card, or an ati agp card etc.
A 3dfx card is basically a fast PCI card, and so doesn't seem to be open to the same problem.

That makes sense. I knew about the 3dfx cards being AGP in form factor only .
 
I wonder if XP will have these troubles on my other machine (#9 Revolution 4, Voodoo II).
 
Yes, I apparently have a knack for picking products from companies that go out of business / get bought out .

Seems to be a problem that occured AFTER I used the automatic Windows Update. I have used XP a couple of months before (build 2600) with the 12.41 drivers (even 12.90): I had NO problems...
 
Yesterday I installed XP again, ran the Updater, installed some stuff and put the 23.11 on it. BAM: BSOD within 10 seconds after reboot.
I have a GF2-MX400 Asus, btw. I installed the 12.41 afterwards, the PC hanged, no BSOD but just froze at some point.

i remembered back when win2k had agp problems and amd/microsoft came out with a reg patch that fixed it...perhaps doing this again will solve the problem?? the only reason i thought of this is cause when i installed win2k with sp2 on my pops pc i still had the agp problems till i went and installed the reg patch. and also, i don't have that problem you guys have and thinking maybe cause i did a 2k->XP update instead of a clean install...anyways..just a thought tho maybe it doesn't matter...but something to try anyways
