Various Problems

[Mekismo]

Hi

I have recently been having problems whilst playing games with a bsod error "NV4_Disp" infinate loop. Been trying to fix the problem for a few weeks, updated bios, gfx drivers etc but no luck. The system is as follows:

MSI Neo2 Platinum
Athlon 64 3500+
Gainward 6800 GT
Maxtor 160gb SATA HDD
1024 Crucial Ballistix Ram (2x512)
Raidmax 450w PSU

During my attempts to fix the above problem i installed motherboard monitor because i read about the 5v rail problem possibly causing the error. Well, here is what mbm is reading which is quite a concern:



I'm thinking i need a new psu, any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The continuous loop error has almost always been a driver issue, and anyone that's had nvidia based cards for a long time has probably run into it. I've been running systems all with different nividia cards in them, and have had this issue at times. Every time it was a result or a driver, and it's always been fixed by either updating to a newer driver, or going back to an older one.

The newest official driver can be found at:

If you aren't using it give it a try.

If you are, or it doesn't help try a different version from the archives...

Yeah i am using 81.85 already, aswell as trying older versions.

What do you make of the 12v rail reading on motherboard monitor?

Nothing, MSI have their own monitor, it will be on the MB CD, I foget what it's called ... go to MSI's website fo it if you can't find it.
