"Infinite Loop" Video Hangs - Geforce2 MX200 + MSI 645 Ultra
With nvidia,youre best bet is to remove it in add/remove,
then go to device mgr.and R.click it in display adapters, select,uninstall,reboot computer.On desktop,open windows update,let it install nvidia drivers for you. -----Original Message----- When I run games using Direct3D or DirectDraw - i.e. Age of Empires 2, or Simcity 4 - they always hang for 1 minute, then this error comes up: "Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality." When I click OK, I get dumped to a 640*480, 16 color desktop. After restarting, Windows warns me that "the system has recovered from a serious error" and that "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200 appears to be responsible for the instability." I looked in the Event log and found an entry, from source: "nv4" with description: "The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates." I have Pentium 4 1.8 GHz, and 512 MB memory, on MSI 645 Ultra motherboard with SIS 645 chipset. I have Windows XP Home. Please advise! . |
