What's the error code on the BSOD? That would help as a start.

If it is the GFX card, take the side casing off the PC and remove the GFX card from the AGP/PCI slot. Check for dust, clean if needed then reseat it firmly. With the case still off, start the game and take note to see of the cooling fan on the card starts up.

0x0000001 as far as I recall. Graphics driver issue, stuck in an infinite loop. Some nv4_disp.dll file is causing trouble. Followed all the online help instructions but nada. Updated drivers dont seem to work

Its a problem that has hit me infrequently in the past but has steadily got worse over the last month or so. The file in question is the primary driver file but according to the diagnostic check its the most up to date and there are no problems with direct 3d or direct draw. Everything checks out. Except it doesnt work.

Maybe it is dirt on the actual card :hmm: Me taking the back of a PC? Thats only one step down from brain surgery!
