Re: [XP Pro] Frequent BSODs in Win XP Pro SP2, ple Have you tried ALL the versions of nVidia drivers available for your card? I had infinite loop BSODs from the moment I got this Dell Nov 2003 with an nVidia card. I updated right away to what was the latest drivers at the time and that didn't help. The next several driver upgrades didn't help. Finally, the last two upgrades (61.77 and 66.93) have been good. No more infinite loop problems. It is ironic though because the card is old enough that the earlier drivers give better performance but I can't use them.

| Still a no go. I've tried the 56.7 and 66.93 drives, removed in safe mode, reboot, cleaned with Driver Cleaner Pro, installed in safe mode, problems persist. I've also installed the VIA 4in1 latest driver.
Could you elaborate on the "repair" install? What I did is boot with the XP cd and get into repair mode, and I have no idea what to do in the command line mode.
Thanks.
BTW, I'm close to wanting to do a reinstall again, but the thing is I'll have to call to activate if I do a reinstall. Is there a way to store the activation record somewhere and port it into the next one? |

| I've just tried a new installation of Win XP and still having the same problem. Then I tried a different video card, and same stuff happens. This just doesn't make any sense at all. I've pretty much replaced everything in my computer except the case.
Could you guys suggest other versions of driver to try out? I'm now thinking maybe it's the motherboard simply doesn't like the driver or something.
BTW, could someone point out where the 'edit' button is? Thanks. |

After your new installation of XP, when did you start getting the BSOD's again? Was it after you installed all your third party programs? |
