Hello,
Here is my problem, for the past week, I updated my Nvidia drivers. At first glance everything seemed normal, but 2 to 3 days later, I started getting Windows errors. Let me explain, I'm running program X, everything is normal, then for no reason, my computer crashes, and my monitor goes black, displaying that this type of resolution is too high and is not supported! I've tried everything to get it back, alt+f4, alt-ctrl+enter! Nothing works! I'm even forced to unplug the power from the computer, then plug it back in to restart it. And this kind of problem is very random!
My configuration:
Windows XP SP2
1 GB of RAM
P4 3.06 GHz
Nvidia 6200SE turbocache
So please suggest your solutions!

Hello,
You’re talking too much, make it simpler:
Since updating my Nvidia drivers, my computer crashes randomly.
An error message says that the resolution of my video card is too high,
and it is not supported!
=> The shorter it is, the easier it is to read and interpret; and there are fewer spelling mistakes in French.
=> Everything is there: new driver, random crashes, resolution too high
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could you mention the version of the NVidia driver, in case someone has the same video card as you, or knows that...
The error message indicates that the resolution is too high.
Your computer doesn't crash systematically, so when it’s "stable", try setting a lower resolution.
=> Right-click on the desktop>Properties>Settings
It’s indicated!
From here, you can check/communicate the video settings that have a negative comment/status.
=> From "Settings", Advanced button>Tab Card: OK?
In this tab, look at these settings:
"Properties" and "List all modes" (accepted resolutions)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise, normally, it is necessary to uninstall the old driver before installing the new one.
If the installation of a new incorrectly installed driver causes the screen to display nothing or random images, there is a way to use a basic video driver that always responds.
To use it: at startup of the computer, tap F8 and choose the type of startup with "VGA mode".

Hello everyone, I had the same issue as you regarding the WOW update or while playing. I'm on Windows Vista with an HP computer. Here's the trick:
1) http://config.zebulon.fr/ to analyze your configuration
2) once analyzed, click on the link "Update my drivers"
3) a window will open on "toutlesdrivers.com"
4) with all your drivers to update, click on each one
5) and there you go, everything is spotless and finished with the blue screen
P.S: for NVIDIA cards, avoid the update "Nvidia GeForce 6/7/8/9/100/200 (drivers 191.07 WHQL)"
it's the latest version and it crashes badly, so stick with the update (89.90)

Startup page
=> OK, your PC works like that.
On others (for example my Sony), you have to press F8 to see the boot choice menu.
Note: Off-topic video issue, just for info. The brand logo often appears instead of what the BIOS says (the first program that starts when the PC boots) when starting the PC. This information can be useful for solving certain problems...
-------------------------------------
Driver update
=> OK so if this update solves a display problem in a game.
We are in a case where it is useful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here or there, it is recommended to wait 12-20 seconds before restarting the PC.
=> The "12-20 seconds" is a "tip," something that sometimes works when the PC is stuck.
I was explaining the reason for the waiting time: to discharge residual voltages (+5V, +/-12V) that still power circuits when they shouldn't. I’ve never found a real explanation for this tip.
Of course it's not normal, when powered back on everything should be initialized correctly, residual voltages
or not. An old trick that persists... But you might still have an old PC.
So concretely, if a weird phenomenon of a stuck PC occurs:
- Power off
- Wait 30 seconds (go do something else)
- Power on
And if there is any doubt about the PC's power supply continuing to power despite being "OFF": unplug the power cord.
But then it would be a faulty PC. With a Packard Bell it should be fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"when I press the 'on' button for 10 seconds to turn it off, I turn it back on immediately, 5 seconds later at most...
=> Here you are talking about the programming of the "ON/OFF" button, that's another thing.
Do you have a manual for your PC that talks about this button?
On some PCs, this button is programmable via the BIOS setup: a part of the BIOS that allows you to view/modify
settings and which you access by pressing a "certain" key during the PC boot.
Normally you shouldn't have to modify the behavior of this button.
But:
"press 10s on the 'on' button to turn off => the PC turns back on 5s later"
"turns back on" => transition from off to on.
So after 15 seconds it powers back on.
10 seconds to account for a certain behavior of this button (principle of long or short presses seen on other devices).
It remains off for 5 seconds, then turns on.
=> Strange, normally "HOLD ON for a certain time" turns it off.
Normal, a "serious" action requires confirmation; if there is no dialog box to confirm, the principle of the long press is used.
But you can Hibernate or not/Shut down/Restart with a short press on the "ON/OFF" button.
My PC works like this. A dialog box then appears with different options.
It seems that your "ON/OFF" acts like a restart rather than a "Shut down."
----------------------------------------------------
Download Accelerator ...I don't know what that is!
=> Literally "Download Accelerator" and I believe, the name of one of these DAs.
A software, more or less complicated, intended to speed up downloads.
Nvidia calls it "driver," which can be misleading. Besides, the wording is vague: All drivers => all stuff...=> all software.
In any case forget it, it’s useless (except to create confusion), it's from the past, back when PCs were
equipped with a 56 Kbps modem, or even a low-speed ADSL connection. The DA was especially useful when the download (DL) was stuttering, the DA could then resume the DL where an error occurred, and of course more efficiently than the original "Downloader."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my antivirus was running and I did not uninstall the NVIDIA display drivers.
=> The story of the AV blocking the driver DL, I would like someone to demo it for me!
I download tons of software while leaving my BitDefender AV running, never had a problem.
AVs are known to systematically conflict with each other, so why not with all kinds of software/programs?
But hey, best to remove all doubt and follow Nvidia's recommendation.
If you uninstall/reinstall your driver, disable the Real-Time Protection (RTP) of your AV.
The name of the RTP varies by AV but looking closely....
=> right-click AV icon in the bottom right (notification area), look for what revolves around enabling/disabling real-time antivirus functionality (file access).
With BitDefender v10 it became simple: right-click>Antivirus>check the box "RTP enabled."
Don't close the AV, especially don't uninstall it!
!!! Don't you have 2 AVs with their RTP enabled?
=> Problem with the Nvidia recommendation: you are no longer protected in real-time during the driver DL.
In this window a little pirate can sneak in...
Twisted computing, we are not far from a contradiction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
But what is quite disturbing is that this problem only occurs during the first 10 minutes
=>Your PC is definitely acting strangely! Return it!
Usually, a PC that crashes after a certain time is a poorly ventilated PC and/or its aging components can no longer withstand the heat. Cold at start, too hot after...
Time flows, components age further, "too hot" arrives quicker and quicker.
But hey, in the vast majority of cases, people have changed PCs.
Your PC only works poorly in the first moments; I don’t know this phenomenon.
Google?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but you wouldn't have a tutorial handy that explains how to do it...thanks
=> No, no tutorial, normally you just need to uninstall via Add/Remove all that concerns Nvidia.
Just check in the Device Manager to ensure the Nvidia driver has disappeared.
Don't forget, in case of "black screen" trouble, there remains the "basic driver" via F8/VGA mode
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will look for a "tutorial" on reinstalling the video driver.

Hello, I read all your posts precisely! My problem is that I installed Seven on a Packard Bell with Vista pack 2! But my graphics card crashes normally! It refuses access or can't find the drivers! Generally, for a complete restoration, I pressed F11 at startup under Vista and I had my PC like brand new! But under Seven it's different... And I even think I erased Vista!... So I'm going to learn on the job but I shouldn't have installed Seven and I want to go back to Vista but I don't have the CDs!... I have Seven but a performance index of 1.0! Before I played Flight Simulator 10 with the expansion without problems, but now even playing chess is slow! Thanks for reading!!! My email: secteurA@hispeed.ch for MSN, Skype, and all the rest...;-)
Hello,
I had reformatted my laptop, and after the reformatting, it asked for several drivers, including the Battery driver. During the installation of the driver, there was a power outage, and since then it won't restart. Every time I press the power button, it turns on and then after 3 or 4 seconds, it turns off. I would appreciate your suggestions on this issue. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

My version of the driver is: 162.18 (Date of creation: 26.7.2007)
=> OK, I just wanted to check that you had chosen the right driver.
=> However, why do you want to update your driver?
Yes, I know, we tend to take the latest version of a software (a driver is a program) because we think that "the latest version is the best, it fixes more bugs."
It is often recommended for software like antimalwares.
For others, it depends....
On the other hand, for drivers, manufacturers recommend not to routinely update your driver unless you notice a malfunction or inconvenience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The highest resolution of my card is 1280 by 1024, and I have never had a problem before with this resolution.
=> OK, but I suspected you hadn't changed the driver and the resolution at the same time.
And also that before it was OK since you didn't say you had changed the video card.
But you're right to specify it, that way another person (if they read the thread carefully) won't ask you the question.
And since the card tab, all video modes are accepted from 800 by 600 to 1280 by 1024.
=> OK, so we check that the new driver hasn't broken the resolutions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, I did not uninstall the old driver before installing the new one, because normally it does it
automatically, I think.
=> Yes, normally it should do that, but often it doesn't.
Always this eternal problem of a sloppy uninstallation.

1) The PC's power supply should not continue to supply power after the PC is turned off.
2) Power stays for a while after cutting off its source.
Capacitors, which filter the voltages to obtain a voltage free of fluctuations, have the property of storing electricity. After cutting off the power source, this amount of electricity disappears after a certain time (capacitor discharge).

I'm talking about the page where there's an image of the manufacturer of my computer, Packard Bell, and at the bottom of this page, there are configuration choices by pressing f2, f8, etc.
However, why do you want to update your driver?
The update was done because I had a problem with a game I bought, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl." The sky in the game had an issue, so to find a solution to this problem, I searched on Google, and I found an article in a forum that recommended updating the graphics card drivers to fix the issue, and it worked very well after the update.
Here or there, it's recommended to wait 12-20 seconds before restarting the PC.
However, I didn't pay attention to that. When I press the "on" button for 10 seconds to turn it off, I turn it back on right away, not even 5 seconds later...

Download Accelerator... I don't know what that is!
And for the last 2 pieces of advice, my antivirus was running, and I didn't uninstall the NVIDIA display drivers.
So maybe that’s the issue, I suppose.
But what’s quite troubling is that this problem only occurs during the first 10 minutes of using the computer; after that, it’s perfect!
You should start from scratch by uninstalling the old driver!!
Yes, but do you have a tutorial handy that explains how to do it... thanks

Ah there it is, the one I was looking for, but I’ve never tried it.

There are no comments => too bad or when it's OK we say nothing, since it's OK?
Driver Cleaner is a program that allows you to remove leftover drivers that may remain on the disk after uninstallation. The recognized drivers are numerous: 3Dfx, ATI, Creative, kX, nForce, nVidia, Realtek, SIS, or even Turtle Beach...
Before using this program, you must first uninstall the drivers "properly" through the add/remove menu in the control panel. Then run Driver Cleaner, which will take care of finishing the cleanup.
Before running Driver Cleaner (Driver Cleaner), I suggest you test after "add/remove".
In case DC cleans too much....
If still not working, why not use DC.
NOTE: Do not confuse Driver Cleaner with Drive Cleaner (File Cleaner) which is known to be a crapware (a nasty piece).

Here nvidia driver it’s complex.
See how Nvidia Forceware drivers are tricky!
In the advice they say to uninstall the old ones: now I have 2 the old one - nv4_disp.dll and the new one installed by the assistant <ital>-nv4_mini.sys, go to control panel. Add/Remove, look for nvidia windows display drivers or nvidia drivers then select Remove and there is nothing nvidia in Add/Remove
He didn’t take a little swing with Driver Cleaner, using the assistant...
I don’t know much about computers and I’m afraid of uninstalling them, will the whole screen go black or not and then I will just have to install the new 93.71.
That’s why I tell you: F8 at startup/VGA mode, so you don’t have to be afraid of the black screen!
The rest is amusing. This little discussion is nice, the person is touching. She doesn’t know much about using a forum given what she’s asking her helper. The helper doesn’t do much in fact, he says so himself. He specifies that he's just a little tinkerer, since the other seems to get attached to him. So he does what he suggests, right away it works but:
but tonight when I launched it, from the time it started until it was operational, it “flickered,” meaning a black screen then it comes back.
Tough, tough Nvidia drivers, they should give the right instructions, not forgetting "when there's already a problem!"
Because the instructions are always "when it works not too badly," the big flaw of instructions!
The next evolution of computing (not just it...) maybe.
Well, with other peripherals, we manage with habit and various searches via Google => forums or in-depth articles.
But the black screen is scary!
Ah there it is, the one I was looking for, but I’ve never tried it.

There are no comments => too bad or when it's OK we say nothing, since it's OK?
Driver Cleaner is a program that allows you to remove leftover drivers that may remain on the disk after uninstallation. The recognized drivers are numerous: 3Dfx, ATI, Creative, kX, nForce, nVidia, Realtek, SIS, or even Turtle Beach...
Before using this program, you must first uninstall the drivers "properly" through the add/remove menu in the control panel. Then run Driver Cleaner, which will take care of finishing the cleanup.
Before running Driver Cleaner (Driver Cleaner), I suggest you test after "add/remove".
In case DC cleans too much....
If still not working, why not use DC.
NOTE: Do not confuse Driver Cleaner with Drive Cleaner (File Cleaner) which is known to be a crapware (a nasty piece).
---------------------------------------------------
Here nvidia driver it’s complex.
See how Nvidia Forceware drivers are tricky!
In the advice they say to uninstall the old ones: now I have 2 the old one - nv4_disp.dll and the new one installed by the assistant <ital>-nv4_mini.sys, go to control panel. Add/Remove, look for nvidia windows display drivers or nvidia drivers then select Remove and there is nothing nvidia in Add/Remove
He didn’t take a little swing with Driver Cleaner, using the assistant...

Thank you for all this advice! I'm going to try all that this weekend in peace!
But I wanted to say that I have new information about my problem; the situation has either been resolved or worsened ^^.
So, I come back from school, I turn on my computer, first and second crashes of the computer, but this time there’s something new!
When it crashed, it displayed a message on a blue screen saying there was a problem, with some codes... And when my machine restarted, I got a more detailed report that I made sure to screenshot.
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9540/946074586smallgfgffgno5.jpg
And after that, it showed me this page: http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/571/fr/5.1.2600.2.00010300.2.0?SGD=1184aae6-6ba8-4040-81f2-b2d7fd5a8ffe
Although we know that the problem is due to a hardware component, the error report does not contain enough information to allow us to identify the component in question. The problem is likely related to one of the following computer components:
* Random Access Memory (RAM)
* System board
* Central Processing Unit
* Power supply
Apparently, it has nothing to do with my graphics card :s!
So I hope these details might help to understand my problem!

Hi, I have the same problem as you, I have an XFX from Nvidia. When I'm on the internet or watching a movie, everything works fine, but as soon as I start a game, the screen turns all green or red with some sort of honeycomb!!! You can still hear me talking on Skype, but I can't do anything except restart my PC by cutting the power. If I just do a reset, the problem comes back.
Thanks for your solutions.
Thanks for your solutions.
Thank you for the response.
So to answer:
My driver version is: 162.18 (Release date: 26.7.2007) (http://www.nvidia.fr/object/winxp_2k_162.18_fr.html)
The highest resolution of my card is 1280 by 1024, and I have never had any problems before with this resolution.
And from the card tab, all video modes are accepted from 800 by 600 to 1280 by 1024.
However, I did not uninstall the old driver before installing the new one, because it usually does that automatically, I think.
And when I restart my computer, Windows informs me that it has recovered from a serious error, and it shows me this page:
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/10/fr/5.1.2600.2.00010300.2.0?SGD=65321dc3-0826-4835-81e2-13e0797d2835
"Problem type
Windows stop error (a message appears on a blue screen with error code information)"
I report that I do not have any messages displaying error code information.
And I would like to add that when I restart my computer without turning off the power supply, the computer hangs on the first start page.

=> All of this is very technical and serves no purpose.
If you send this error report to Microsoft, they will respond that they don’t have a solution.
At the beginning of your "screen," there is the content of the processor registers.
This is useful for debugging specialists of programs that crash.
debugger: to search for bugs (malfunctions) in a program using a software called "debugger."
So, you need to work at Microsoft and have the proper training to debug a program and especially be on the machine that has the problem.
Thus, no "helper" on a forum will tell you what to do using this error report.
Debugging a program is not an easy task and costs money. So there is little hope that they will debug for you after sending your report. It happens differently...
By the way, in my notes, I recovered/wrote this down:
Disable error reporting to Microsoft
Right-click on the My Computer icon.
Properties>Advanced>Error Reporting>Check "Disable error reporting".
Note: Recommend doing this on forums.
No other notes which means: did not find a real technical reason to do it.
-> Just so as not to be annoyed by this useless prompt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, the STOP error code on a blue background as well as the file mentioned, if present of course, can sometimes be useful.
=> Possibly communicate them to your "helper," leave out "0x0000," just the parts that differ from "0."
Note "0x": hexadecimal base (16): hexadecimal digits from 0 to F (0...9, A...F).
There are tons of sites that document these STOP errors.
http://www.docmemo.com/windows/erreursstop.php
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us
But as I already pointed out (simplified copy-paste):
Even in that case, at Microsoft or elsewhere, there are tons of possible causes listed, including:
changing the driver, reinstalling it, removing/reconnecting the device, etc...
=> Driver issue when changing or reinstalling it, otherwise...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://wer.microsoft.com/...
* RAM, ==> why not!
* System board, ==> We say motherboard/CM (motherboard/MB)
* Central processing unit, ==> Yes, it can be said but see below...
* Power supply ==> why not!
=> ??????? Great!
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit%C3%A9_centrale
In the field of micro or mini computing, the central unit (or commonly CPU) is the part of the computer that performs all the basic processing.
There are two interpretations of this term: the first, the most common, refers to the case of a computer and all its internal components; the second, less common but more precise, refers to a part of the processor.
=> So an ambiguous term: case (tower, desktop) or part of the processor.
The case of a desktop computer containing the motherboard, processor, RAM, power supply, storage devices can be called the central unit.
=> So Microsoft’s site gets confused: in the same list, it indicates the components of a set and the set itself. In other words, a box contains A, B, C AND the box.
=> And the worst part is that it tells us that the problem can come from any of the elements of a computer but by listing
ALL the elements. So it could come from anywhere!
Thanks, we would have guessed that! It doesn’t really help.
Apparently, it has nothing to do with my graphics card :s !
=> Well, yes, we just forgot the GPU, which can actually be integrated into the motherboard.
So: "So I hope these details may help understand my problem!"
=> Not really then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the site http://www.docmemo.com/windows/erreursstop.php and enter the error code as indicated.
You will see.
Otherwise, this weekend try what I indicated, which I will summarize briefly:
- Uninstall the driver
- Driver Cleaner (reread the message that talks about it), but do the Driver Cleaner at the point where you are!
- Disable your AV as they say...
- Install the driver
Don’t forget: if video issue, F8 at startup, choose VGA mode (basic video driver always available).
I had forgotten: once under Windows started in VGA mode, disable the faulty video driver (Nvidia)
in the Device Manager.
Do not uninstall it, disable it; otherwise, you risk falling back into the same problem...!
=> This in case it is badly uninstalled, of course.
Disabling the faulty driver allows you not to have to start Windows in VGA mode at every boot or restart of the PC. To start it normally then.
If the faulty driver is not activated, it is not taken into account, so no problem.
The start/VGA mode tells Windows: do not take the driver supposed to be the right driver, use your basic driver!
=> All this is a temporary solution pending the definitive one, but allows using your PC for everything that does not require advanced video functionality: no games with breathtaking fluidity and graphics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summary, your Nvidia driver is crashing the processor. It executes "broken" code or points to inaccessible memory areas because they do not exist or are protected for writing.
It is not necessarily the driver’s fault...
Blue screen because the error is not handled correctly from the first layer that manages the video. It is not necessarily its fault, but rather the called layer. For the called layer, the same => cascade.
The error then propagates from layer to layer. The origin of the error is lost over layers until it ends up falling on a layer that does not appreciate at all what it is being asked to do => crashes with an inevitably enigmatic error message.
Well, enigmatic error message or not, the explanation of the problem will probably be as follows:
- Either correctly uninstalling this Nvidia driver, then reinstalling it will resolve the problem, provided you don’t have another issue on your machine.
- Or a file linked to the video, but not necessarily an Nvidia file, is corrupted.
- Or it turns out that this driver is not compatible with your GPU
Is the GPU dead? No, not that either, at least not yet...
By the way, your GPU? Integrated into the motherboard, or a "real" separate GPU?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, next Saturday I'm going to Brittany for a week. No "PC" for a week!
So I won’t be able to continue to follow this fascinating affair (Columbo?).
If your problem is still not solved, post a new topic.
Don’t recount too much the history of everything that happened on your PC.
Just state what you observe at this moment and the attempts to resolve the problem you have made.
In this new post, if the problem is resolved, in addition to indicating it, write a clear and simple summary of the actions
taken. Feel free to use bullet points:
- do this
- do that
As needed, cite the links that helped you.
I will check on CCM via "Other messages from Headworx."
High School? Student or teacher?
Uh, "And so I am even forced to," correctly written "forcede"?
Good luck and @+.
