Blue screen of death - 'nv4_disp.dll' getting caught in an 'infinite loop'.

mark_mark24 — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 16:07:17 GMT

hi

my sony vaio VGN-FS315M randomly goes to the blue screen after freezing for about 15-20 seconds. it says that the display driver "nv4_disp.dll" is caught in an infinite loop. This is usually when playing a game, or running several programs at once.

Sometimes it doesnt happen for weeks, then it will happen regularly for a while.

I have tried installing the latest display drivers, and disabled all startup programs, but this hasn't helped. i have a hunch that the problem lies with the graphics card (which by the way is a Nvidia GeForce Go 6400).

Help muchly appreciated :smileygrin:

Hi mark_mark24.

Have you read through THIS RECENT THREAD on the nVidia Forums? It seems to be a common problem but one contributor seems to have found a fix.

i have just downloaded a nv4loopfix.zip file and it looks like it might fix the problem.

cheers Blencogo:smileygrin:

Hasn't fixed it. Just got the error message whilst on BF2. But, it didn't come up with "The system has recovered from a serious error", just booted up fine.

I don't want to have to send it back to sony for a replacement.:smileycry:

Any advice welcome.

I tried it, but it uninstalled my graphics card somehow..

So i downloaded forceware 92.91 from www.laptopvideo2go.com with modded .inf.

See how it goes:smileyhappy:

P.S.

Anyone else with the same problem?
