akochan Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 The writing on the blue screen tells you what went wrong (sometimes). Try reading it and seeing what file/driver is causing the crash. Likeliest it's going to be something audio or video. Then try to fix the offending problem with alternate versions of the file from the card's manufacturer. If that doesn't work... cry and wait for patches like the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akochan Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 That sounds like (from the file name and this is pure conjecture since I'm of the ATI VPU Recovery crash family) an NVidia driver. What's your card? What version driver you using? Have you tried to see if there's newer or older drivers that work better? Try to use the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com. Then the next oldest, then the next oldest. etc. until you get good results or tired of trying. Be sure to completely uninstall the drivers you're currently using before installing other versions since usually they don't work right if you just overwrite. Alternatively check to be sure your video card is both a: getting enough power and b: staying cool enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmaniac Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well I cant read that fast case the whole thing just flashes for like a second. I think it is a memory issue. I will tweek some mobo settings to see if it helps after I re-format.Be back in like 2 hours or so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mederos Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hello, i got the same problem.. a memory problem i think.. anyway if you want to read the blue screen -> go in start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->After click on Setting at Startup & Recovery-> Uncheck Automatically restart Now you can read the blue screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wu Masta James Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 get Driver Cleaner 3 from www.guru3d.com . This will totally erase any traces of you old video drivers, then download the latest official drivers, try not using tweaked ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
